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].

Oklahoma Sooners offer 4-star cornerback and Georgia Bulldogs commit

Jay Valai offered four-star cornerback and UGA commit Tae Harris on Wednesday morning.

Oklahoma’s defensive backs had an up-and-down season in 2023. They’ll be looking for more consistency as the Sooners prepare for the SEC. The Sooner defensive backs are a talented unit, and they had excellent production with interceptions, as the Sooners were in the top five as a team in that category. They can improve to be more sticky in coverage going into 2024.

Jay Valai has been an excellent recruiter since coming to Oklahoma, and he’s looking to continue building that room with an offer to Tae Harris out of Cedartown, Georgia, on Wednesday morning.

Harris, a four-star, six-foot cornerback in the 2025 class, is already committed to Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs. However, Harris is not planning to shut down his recruitment anytime soon and continues to visit other schools.

The 247Sports composite rankings have Harris rated as a four-star prospect and the No. 221 prospect in the country, the No. 27 cornerback, and the No. 28 prospect in Georgia.

Harris is a dual-sport athlete with excellent track times in the 100-meter dash and some very nice numbers on the gridiron. He is a two-way player for his Cedartown High School team who plays receiver when not locking down receivers. He also showcased versatility as a defensive back and played free safety. He could be a candidate to play the nickel for the Sooners in college given his versatility.

“Great. I loved the campus, they are big on life after football,” Harris said. Number one recently ranked public school in America now, so I loved it. Me and all the coaches are tight such as coach (Chad) Lucas, Coach (Will) Harris, Coach (Joe) Hamilton, Coach (Allen) Brown, Coach (Kali) James, and Coach (Billy) Napier. Coach Harris expressed to me how much he needs me there and he has no problem playing people as a freshman.”

The Gators will be relying a lot on its young team members for the foreseeable future, and it’s been a big part of the pitch for recruits to come play for Napier and the Gators.

The coaching staff and Harris watched through game tape together, breaking down the prospect’s highlights. Harris also sat down with Napier, which led to Harris receiving an official offer from the Gators.

Harris is a 4-star recruit according to the 247Sports composite scale, ranking at No. 220 overall for the 2025 recruiting class and standing at No. 27 among cornerbacks.

WATCH: 4-star Georgia CB commit spotted wearing LSU gloves at workout

Could the Tigers flip a blue-chip defensive back away from a conference rival?

LSU has the makings of a very solid 2025 recruiting class, and it’s looking to add to that group by flipping a player currently committed to a conference rival.

The Tigers offered four-star Georgia cornerback commit [autotag]Tae Harris[/autotag] back in late November, and it seems they’ve made an impact on the Cedartown (Ga.) prospect.

While competing at the Georgia Elite Classic in Atlanta, Harris was spotted wearing LSU gloves by On3’s Chad Simmons. Harris has been committed to the in-state Bulldogs since June 19.

He ranks as a top-250 player nationally, and Georgia is widely expected to ultimately sign him. However, with LSU putting on the pressure, that could potentially change.

LSU currently has a six-man 2025 class that ranks in the top five nationally. It’s headlined by five-star receiver [autotag]Dakorien Moore[/autotag], who ranks as the No. 4 player in America.
