Clemson loses 2025 4-star Tae Harris to a commitment flip to Georgia Tech

Harris makes it official.

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.

On3 expert prediction has 4-star Clemson commit Tae Harris flipping to Georgia Tech

Could Clemson lose another commitment?

Dabo Swinney and the Clemson football program are having serious issues in their 2025 recruiting class.

Four-star defensive back Tae Harris, a Clemson commit for the 2025 recruiting class, is reportedly trending toward flipping his commitment to Georgia Tech. On3’s Chad Simmons was the expert who made the change, seeing the young talened defensive back as a future Yellow Jacket. Harris, a highly-rated defensive back out of Atlanta, is drawn to Georgia Tech’s recent momentum under head coach Brent Key and the opportunity to stay close to home.

Harris initially committed to Clemson in August, valuing the program’s track record with defensive talent. However, Georgia Tech’s persistence, combined with the Tigers’ defensive struggles this season, has seemingly swayed his decision.

Clemson cannot afford to lose another top tier piece in this 2025 class.

Clemson football commit Tae Harris plans to be dual sport athlete

Class of 2025 football recruit Tae Harris will be a dual sport athlete, competing for the Tigers’ track and field team.

Clemson football is getting one of the nation’s top-ranked defensive backs in the class of 2025 in Peach State commitment Tae Harris. That much was already known.

What wasn’t known until Monday was that Harris also intends to compete for the Tigers’ track & field team and be a dual sport athlete.

“I’m blessed to announce that I will be apart of the track team starting in the spring for the tigers. All glory to god without him I am nothing.✝️” Harris wrote in a social media post to X, formerly Twitter, Monday.

A four-star recruit, Harris is currently listed as the No. 7 safety in the nation for the class of 2025 by 247Sports’ Recruiting Rankings. Listed as 5-foot-11, 200 pounds, the Cedartown native is ranked the No. 87 overall player in the nation and the No. 12 player from Georgia by 247Sports.

Harris committed to Clemson back in March after decommitting from the Georgia Bulldogs in January.

Harris recorded 44 tackles in his junior season at Cedartown High School to go with three forced fumbles and six pass breakups.

Jumping from No. 124 to No. 87, Harris has climbed 37 spots in the 247Sports class rankings. While 37 spots may not feel like a lot, when you’re in the top tier and jumping into the Top 100 recruits in your class, it does.

Clemson lands massive commitment from four-star defensive back Tae Harris

Clemson makes another huge splash recruiting in the 2025 class.

Dabo Swinney and the Clemson coaching staff continue their scorching hot run recruiting in the 2025 class.

Cedartown (Ga.) High School’s standout talent, four-star defensive back Tae Harris, has officially declared his commitment to the Tigers. Previously committed to Georgia, Harris boasts impressive rankings, with 247Sports positioning him as high as the No. 125 overall prospect in the 2025 class.

Standing at 6 feet tall and weighing 200 pounds, the rising senior made a pivotal visit to Clemson during its March 9 junior day. With his verbal commitment, Clemson’s 2025 class now boasts a total of 11 pledges.

Following his decommitment from the Bulldogs on Jan. 21, Clemson swiftly extended an offer just a day later, seizing the opportunity to secure Harris’s talents. This is a huge commitment for the Clemson program that continues to prove they can recruit at an elite level.

Four-star DB Tae Harris commits to Clemson over LSU, Georgia Tech

The Tigers missed out on a blue-chip defensive back prospect Monday.

LSU has the makings of an elite class in the 2025 recruiting cycle, but it missed on a blue-chip prospect on Monday.

Four-star Cedartown (Ga.) defensive back [autotag]Tae Harris[/autotag] committed to the Clemson Tigers over LSU and Georgia Tech, according to On3’s Hayes Fawcett. Harris is a top-200 prospect nationally in the 2025 class, with the 247Sports Composite ranking him as the 15th-best safety in the class, while On3 has him as a corner and is a bit lower on him.

“Mentally, I have known it was Clemson,” Harris told On3’s Chad Simmons. “Everywhere I would go, I would compare it to Clemson. I looked at the different schools and I would say, ‘These schools have to beat Clemson.’ Nobody beat them. They kept standing at the top. Every box is checked by Clemson.”

His decision doesn’t come as a major surprise. He had received multiple Crystal Ball projections in favor of Clemson, and now he’s set to join Dabo Swinney’s squad.

Even with Harris heading to the other Death Valley, LSU is in good shape in 2025 as its class currently ranks No. 1. It already has one cornerback commit from top-100 prospect [autotag]Jaboree Antoine[/autotag].
