A former five-star recruit who spent four seasons in Clemson's secondary, Jeadyn Lukus signed with the Titans as an undrafted free agent after testing among the fastest corners in the 2026 class.
Jeadyn Lukus arrived at Clemson as one of the top-rated cornerbacks in the 2022 recruiting class and spent four years developing behind and alongside veteran talent in the Tigers' secondary. He went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft but turned heads at Clemson's pro day with elite short-area quickness before signing with Tennessee as a free agent.
Path to the league
Lukus grew up in Greenville, South Carolina, and starred at Mauldin High School, where he was rated a five-star recruit, the fifth-best cornerback and 32nd-best overall prospect in the 2022 class, choosing Clemson over finalists Ohio State and North Carolina. He appeared in 43 games with 15 starts over four seasons with the Tigers (2022-2025).
Career highlights
Over his Clemson career, Lukus recorded 60 tackles, two interceptions, 11 passes defensed and 2.5 tackles for loss, with his best individual moment coming when he earned the starting cornerback job for the 2024 season opener against top-ranked Georgia and logged seven tackles. He closed his pre-draft process with standout testing numbers, including an 11-foot-7 broad jump and a 1.46-second 10-yard split at Clemson's pro day.
2025 season recap
Lukus played a rotational role in his senior season at Clemson before going unselected in the 2026 NFL Draft. He signed with the Tennessee Titans as an undrafted free agent shortly after the draft concluded, joining a Titans secondary being rebuilt with a wave of rookie defensive backs.
