STRecruiting: Clemson adds the specialist piece to its class with a commitment from P/PK Brandin Gallaway

Clemson Tuesday landed a public commitment from one of the top kickers in the 2027 class in Brandin Gallaway (6-4 195) of Bradenton, FL. Gallaway was among the recruits in for official visits last weekend. He chose the Tigers over Auburn, Tennessee, and West Virginia.

Gallaway had originally planned to make a commitment announcement on July 4th, but after taking just the one official visit to Clemson, he apparently felt he had seen enough.

“I really love Clemson. They really give the vibe of a family, a family atmosphere, and like they definitely want your family to be around,” Gallaway said before his visit. “They always reach out, stay in touch with me. I have a good relationship with the coaches. So honestly, I think that’s the main part.”

Gallaway also said the idea of being coached by a longtime NFL specialist coach, Rich Bisaccia, was highly appealing.

“I really like him as a coach,” Gallaway said. “I don’t think it gets any better with the coaching deal because he’s been in the NFL for a really long time. He’s got that experience. And then relationship-wise, I definitely want to keep building that relationship. And, he seems like a great guy.”

In January, Gallaway was ranked the #1 punter and the #3 placekicker in the country. During his spring practice in April, he nailed a field goal from 63 yards.

Gallaway becomes the 20th commitment for Clemson’s 2027 class.
