During the summer when some Horns fans were worried about defensive back recruiting IT cautioned patience, that we’d see late-cycle intrigue.

In his time at Texas, cornerbacks coach Terry Joseph has shown to be very patient. In 2022 he pounced on National Signing Day to flip Terrance Brooks from Ohio State. In 2023, along with Blake Gideon, Texas moved in late on Warren Roberson. This past cycle, he waited out Kobe Black and also flipped Wardell Mack from Florida. 

Currently, Texas only has one cornerback committed in Fort Bend Marshall’s Caleb Chester. The fact Joseph pushed early for Chester underlines how highly the lengthy corner is thought of. But one corner is not enough. 

Today we can add Graceson Littleton‘s name to the Texas radar. Though Littleton visited with 7 on 7 teammates last spring, he was not a recruit we were following until recently. The Tampa (Fla.) Wiregrass Ranch athlete de-committed from Clemson today, per Tom Loy at 247. Was the timing a coincidence? 

Earlier this morning Inside Texas reported Joseph would be by Littleton’s school to visit with him. IT believes an official visit next weekend for the Florida game is a strong possibility. At this time it is not set in stone, however. 

Littleton originally committed to the Tigers on June 5th, the same weekend as his official visit to Clemson. At the time he was also considering Penn State, Alabama, and Oklahoma.

In addition to Texas being in the picture now, the Michigan Wolverines are a threat. Littleton will be in Ann Arbor for the Wolverines’ game against the No. 1 Oregon Ducks on Saturday. 

Graceson Littleton is the On3 Ranking No. 99 player in the country and No. 12 cornerback.
