Friday, the Clemson football program got some unfortunate news on the recruiting trail. Graceson Littleton, a 4-star defensive back from Tampa, Florida announced that he is decomitting from the Tigers 2025 recruiting class and opening his options back up.

The highly-rated prospect had been committed to the Tigers since June. His departure dropped Clemson’s current recruiting class ranking from No. 17 nationally to No

With the early signing window opening next month, the Tigers have a very small class right now. Only 13 players are currently committed to head coach Dabo Swinney’s program.

Typically, Swinney does a great job of holding onto recruits who have pledged to play for him. However, in the current recruiting cycle, a handful of potentially impactful players have walked back their commitments to the Tigers. Along with Littleton, that group includes three-star offensive lineman Jaylan Beckley, four-star quarterback Blake Hebert, four-star defensive lineman Isaiah Campbell, and four-star edge rusher Bryce Davis.
