Clemson football’s 2025 recruiting class took another major blow with 4-star safety Tae Harris flipping to Georgia Tech.
Harris, ranked among the top 50 overall prospects by Rivals and ESPN, announced his decision after attending Georgia Tech’s win over NC State. Originally committed to Clemson in July, Harris becomes the Tigers’ sixth decommitment for the 2025 class and their fifth since August.
Harris previously decommitted from Georgia earlier this year after a staff change. A standout in football and track, he plans to compete in college athletics across both sports. His departure leaves Clemson’s 2025 class without any cornerback commitments, as Graceson Littleton also flipped earlier this month.
The Tigers, now ranked 29th in the 247Sports Team Composite, are navigating an increasingly competitive recruiting environment shaped by NIL opportunities and evolving priorities. This marks a growing challenge for Clemson as traditional recruiting strategies face greater disruption in the modern landscape.
