Lucky number thirteen commitment for the Clemson 2026 recruiting class is DT Kameron Cody (6-3 285) of Savannah. Cody announced his commitment Saturday night, and that should come as a surprise to no one. He actually made his pledge the day of the Elite Retreat on March 8th.
Cody had been a long time target of Clemson defensive tackles coach Nick Eason. He chose the Tigers over LSU, Tennessee, Arizona State and Georgia Tech.
“It feels like a dream come true. I always wanted to be a Tiger,” Cody said. “It’s just the family vibe I get, and it reminds me too much of my high school. My high school is an all-boys schools, so the brotherly aspect of things intensify. I see that at Clemson and it reminds me too much of what I have at home, and it feels like home.”
Cody had outside connections to Eason through a couple of coaches at Benedictine Military Academy. That helped to get the ball rolling with the Clemson recruiter and the relationship has grown from there.
“It’s a real big connection with Coach Eason,” Cody said. “He believes I’m going to make an impact when I get there. I’m going to be the guy that does what he’s told and does it to the fullest. I would see myself being most successful in the run game, but I’m a jack of all trades. I can do it all.”
Cody plans a return trip to Clemson for the spring game, and he will attend the official visit weekend May 30th as well.
Last season Cody recorded 90 tackles with 13 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks.
Cody is the eighth commitment for the Tigers this month and the first for the defensive line.
