All-In Cookout Preview

The All-In Cookout is once again upon us.

A longtime signature summer recruiting event for the Tigers, the All-In Cookout may not quite hold the significance it has in recent years, now that summer official visits factor so prominently into the recruiting process and make functions like Clemson’s big official visit weekend in late May or early June carry more weight.

With that said, the All-In Cookout is still important and a date that’s always circled on the calendar. It’s a time where the Tigers emphasize their family atmosphere and strengthen bonds between the recruits, their families and the coaches, while reminding the commits why they chose to be a part of the program.

The cookout commenced this afternoon and will carry on into the evening, and most of the commits in the 2025 class are attending the event. The Tigers also welcomed a couple of priority targets to Tiger Town, and as you have probably seen, they already picked up a verbal pledge from one of those targets in Logan Anderson.

The four-star linebacker from Fyffe (Ala.) announced his commitment to Clemson this afternoon, choosing the Tigers over numerous other offers, including Georgia, Arkansas, Georgia Tech, Washington and Ole Miss.

“It’s a family program,” Anderson told TCI in a recent interview. “It is a dedicated team and they are about the right things. Family. It’s not about clicks and money. They are about what football should be about, not like all these other schools. That is what I like about it.”

Meanwhile, Clemson is welcoming an uncommitted wide receiver target back to campus in Saraland (Ala.) four-star Dillon Alfred. The one-time Ole Miss pledge received an offer from the Tigers last month following an impressive showing at the Dabo Swinney Camp.

The Tigers have one receiver commit in the 2025 class in three-star JuJu Preston, and they’re hoping to add Alfred to the fold.

In addition to the newly committed Anderson, here’s a rundown of the other commitments expected to be in attendance for the Cookout:

Amare Adams , 4-star DL, Florence, S.C.

Logan Brooking , 4-star TE, Savannah, Ga.

Rowan Byrne , 4-star OL, New Rochelle, N.Y.
