Clemson hits big landing 4-star 2027 quarterback Kharim Hughley commits to Clemson

Clemson football just landed one of its first building blocks for the 2027 class in four-star quarterback Kharim Hughley out of Gainesville, Georgia.

Hughley announced his commitment to Clemson Thursday morning, just days after picking up an offer during Dabo Swinney’s high school camp — his first visit to campus. The Gainesville standout, who shares an alma mater with Clemson legend Deshaun Watson, is rated as high as the No. 92 overall prospect and the No. 4 dual-threat QB in the class (ESPN).

He’s already built a strong connection with quarterbacks coach Tajh Boyd and offensive coordinator Garrett Riley. “It’s been really good to be able to talk to both Coach Boyd from a player’s perspective, if that makes sense,” Hughley told Tigernet. “He played there, he recruited another famous quarterback out of my school, so I just kind of got a little bit of a connection there. And then Coach Riley, obviously he’s the coach, OC, he’s a really good coach. I like the way he coaches, and he’s not self-centered, if that makes sense. He’s willing to learn from everybody else that’s around him, if that makes sense. And I really like that about him.

As a sophomore, Hughley passed for 2,543 yards with 22 touchdowns to just two interceptions, adding three scores on the ground. He joins four-star linebacker Sam Brown as Clemson’s second commitment for the 2027 cycle.
