Former Clemson safety Andrew Mukuba has announced his decision to enter the 2025 NFL Draft, sharing his gratitude for the impact both Clemson and Texas had on his college career.
Mukuba, an Austin, Texas native, spent three seasons with the Tigers from 2021 to 2023 before transferring to Texas for his final year in 2024. In a social media post on Monday, he thanked both programs for shaping his journey.
“To my Texas fans, it has been an honor to come home and represent my city,” Mukuba wrote. “To my Clemson family, thank you for three unforgettable years. Clemson will always be a part of me. With that, I’m humbled and excited to declare for the 2025 NFL Draft.”
During his Clemson tenure, Mukuba made an immediate impact, earning freshman All-American honors and ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2021. Over 35 games with the Tigers, he recorded 149 tackles, 20 pass breakups, and an interception.
In his lone season at Texas, Mukuba excelled, collecting 69 tackles, five interceptions, and third-team All-SEC honors. He played a pivotal role in Texas’ College Football Playoff run, including a crucial interception in a double-overtime victory against Arizona State in the Peach Bowl.
Mukuba now sets his sights on the NFL, leaving behind an impressive collegiate legacy.
