TJ Moore returns to the Tigers after a stellar season
Clemson football is coming off a terrible season. It all ended in a low not seen since 2010 for Clemson as they fell in the Pinstripe Bowl to Penn State, falling to 7-6. There were some bright spots, including wide receiver TJ Moore, who announced he is returning to school for 2026.
Clemson and Moore have agreed to a new deal to bring the receiver back, according to Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.
Moore attended Tampa Catholic High School, where he was selected for the 2024 All-American Bowl and was rated as a five-star recruit. He committed to Clemson out of high school, joining the team for the 2024 season.
In his first season, the receiver hauled in 45 receptions for 651 yards and five touchdowns. He became a full-season starter and entered the 2025 season as the Tigers’ starting receiver. He hauled in 52 receptions for 837 yards and four touchdowns in 2025.
Moore had some solid carries for Clemson’s offense, even though Clemson was 71st in points per game and 65th in yards per game. He had a stretch with four of five games over 90 yards while scoring all four touchdowns in those five games. He also finished the season with 12 receptions for 184 yards over the final two games.
The star receiver will also be in a new offense with a new quarterback this season. Clemson has parted ways with offensive coordinator Garrett Riley. Meanwhile, Cade Klubnik just finished his senior season, which means there will be a new quarterback under center in 2026 and a new man to throw the ball to Moore. Despite all the struggles Klubnik had this year, Moore was still a star, and he was bringing him back instead of moving to College football transfer portal was a huge victory for Dabo Sweeney and the Clemson Tigers.
