Clemson is showing interest in a standout signal-caller from the Hoosier State, and he is now scheduled for a trip to Tiger Town this summer.
Anthony Coellner, a class of 2026 quarterback from Carmel, Indiana, has been in touch with the Tigers.
“Clemson did reach out to me and told me that they really liked my film and would like to see me throw in person at a camp,” Coellner told The Clemson Insider.
That is slated to happen, as the 6-foot-2, 195-pound rising junior expects to visit Clemson for the Dabo Swinney Camp in early June.
“I am supposed to come down to camp on June 4,” he said.
After receiving his first offer from Maryland last November, Coellner has seen his recruitment start to take off in 2024 while collecting other offers from West Virginia, Miami (Ohio), Cincinnati, Troy and Indiana.
He wrapped up his spring visits with a trip to Indiana this week after also traveling to Toledo, Cincinnati, West Virginia, Miami (Ohio), Michigan, Michigan State, UCLA and Southern Cal this spring.
“The recruiting process has been great so far,” he said. “I’ve been to a handful of schools, and it is always good to see how schools differ and what makes them special. … I would say I’m getting the most interest from IU, Cincinnati, West Virginia, Maryland and Michigan State right now.”
Clemson will start extending offers to the class of 2026 in June, and Coellner says earning an offer from the Tigers would be huge for him and his recruitment.
“Clemson has always been a dream school of mine and it would mean a ton to get an offer to play there,” he said. “I believe it would impact my recruitment in a great way.”
A multi-sport athlete, Coellner completed 56 percent of his passes for 937 yards and eight touchdowns as a sophomore last season, while also rushing for 298 yards and two more scores.
“I would describe myself as a competitor. If the game is on the line, I want the ball in my hands,” he said. “I would also say that I’m a gym rat, kind of that first-one-in, last-one-out mentality, and I am always watching film or working on my craft whenever I have free time. I would also say that I’m an athlete. I also play basketball and I feel like I have a lot of basketball influence in my game, which always helps on the field.”
