Littleton chose the Longhorns over Michigan and Clemson, who he was recently pledged to before de-committing on November 1st. After official visits to Ann Arbor and Austin, the Tampa (Fla.) Wiregrass Ranch product decided Texas was his home.
Here’s his fit and evaluation from the Recruiting Notebook:
How he fits at Texas:
Littleton is a pure man coverage cornerback. He ran a 10.91 100m as a junior and likely has a bit more in the tank if he zeroed in on that sport. It’s easy for him to flip his hips and run with receivers down the field and you can see the angle-defying speed in his return game highlights. At 6-foot-0 he has pretty good size as well and could end up playing in the boundary if he fills out effectively and can be physical in tight spaces. Otherwise he’s a field cornerback. – Ian Boyd
Coach Says:
Strengths: Adequate height and a good frame to build on. Longish arms. Great acceleration and change of direction. Gets up to speed quickly. Top end speed is well above average and will run down most ball carriers at the high school level on pure speed. Several highlights in press man. Establishes good leverage on the receiver and consistently lands the jam. Man turns are fluid and no visible false steps in transition. Makes excellent use of the boundary and will establish position forcing the receiver to fight to stay in bounds. Will consistently stay in phase and track the ball well. Contests the catch zone effectively and lower body explosiveness helps him attack the ball in the air. Good judge of the ball in flight. Catch motion is pretty fluid. A threat to score from anywhere with the ball in his hands. Good kick return highlights showing good vision and decisive cuts.

Areas for improvement: Film is generally limited and doesn’t show much zone coverage. Ability and desire to take on run blocks is not represented on this film.
Texas has one other corner in the 2025 class: Missouri City (Texas) Fort Bend Marshall four-star Caleb Chester. Littleton’s pledge adds the second corner UT needs in this cycle.
He is the No. 99 overall prospect and No. 12 CB in the 2025 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 15 player in Florida.
