Kish (6-2, 220) catapulted from unranked to No. 60 nationally in this month’s Rivals rankings update.
He had MAC suitors until Michigan State pulled the trigger late last month. Then Michigan’s new staff jumped in, followed by Purdue, Louisville, California, Iowa State and Rutgers. Minnesota did offer late in his junior season.
An official visit had been set for Purdue next month, followed by Minnesota and Michigan State in the summer. One was expected to be arranged with Michigan after a spring practice trip later this month.
But Clemson did its thing during Kish’s first visit to campus this past weekend — an appearance that checked the box for Kish to net his offer formally.
Ben Boulware reached out in January when Kish hit radars, and a source close to the prospect told us he played a substantial role in advancing the Tigers’ cause.
Kish plays running back in a triple-option offense and also gets utilized as an edge-rusher on defense. But his athleticism has caught scouts’ eyes, prompting his substantial rankings rise.

Kish now becomes the sixth overall Clemson commitment, tacking on to Brown, Gainesville (Ga.) four-star quarterback Kharim Hughley, Bogart (Ga.) North Oconee safety Harrison Luke, Central (S.C.) Daniel four-star receiver Trey Wimbley and cornerback teammate PJ Chancellor.
