Clemson CB Avieon Terrell: 2026 NFL Draft profile, latest mock predictions originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.

Avieon Terrell is a rare prospect in the 2026 NFL Draft. While the majority of players have tested the waters in the transfer portal, the Clemson Tigers cornerback has been loyal to Dabo Swinney and his staff over the past three years. The hard word is about to pay off in a major way.

After his time at Clemson, he's slotted as a top-60 pick. The third-team Associated Press All-American will try to make a name for himself in the league. Terrell started 12 games and was tied for third in the FBS with 5 FFs. He also had 48 tackles, 4.5 TFLs and 3 sacks.

Here’s a look at the latest NFL Draft projections and profile for Terrell.

"Avieon shares the same bloodlines and coverage temperament as his brother, A.J., a first-round pick of the Falcons in 2020. Avieon Terrell is an athletic, fluid mover with clean transitions and enough speed to stay in phase on most vertical routes. He’s most effective in press-man coverage, where he mirrors releases with timing and discipline, staying crowded to the route.

"He concedes 50/50s to bigger targets at times, but is a constant catch irritant with good technique on all three levels. He can play wide or inside and is willing in run support, but he lacks ideal size. Terrell projects as an early starter thanks to his polish, ball skills and coverage versatility."
