Fast-rising four-star CB Graceson Littleton impressed after first look at Miami: “Being here in person gives you a different point of view”
Since the start of the new year, it may be hard to find a prospect who has seen their recruiting stock rise higher than Tampa (Fla.) Wiregrass Ranch four-star cornerback Graceson Littleton. Since January, the sought-after defensive back has earned over 30 offers, including one from the Miami Hurricanes.
On Saturday, Littleton made his way down to Coral Gables to get an in-depth look at the Hurricanes and strengthen his bond with Miami cornerbacks coach Chevis Jackson.
“I wanted to come see Miami because of my relationship with coach Jackson,” Littleton told CaneSport. “Ever since he offered me I’ve built that strong relationship with him, and I’m interested in Miami for sure.”
This weekend’s visit to Miami was Littleton’s first time in Coral Gables, and he believes the Hurricanes and coach Jackson exceeded his expectations.
“My thoughts before I got here in Miami were strong because me and coach Jackson had a good relationship,” Littleton said. “That definitely continued building after I saw his presentations and everything he had. I learned a little bit more about the techniques he teaches and the breakdowns he does. I was very glad I came here for sure.”
Coming in as the No. 216 overall prospect in the 2025 class according to the On3 Industry Ranking, Littleton has had a busy spring with visits to Kentucky, Alabama, Iowa, Penn State, Georgia Tech, and now Miami.
Last spring was much different for the 6-foot, 180-pound defensive back, who is seeing these colleges for the very first time after garnering national attention in recent months. So getting a look at each program is crucial to Littleton.
“My recruiting process has been crazy, actually,” Littleton said. “I’m up to 35 offers, and last year I didn’t have any offers, so I didn’t get to experience any spring visits. I didn’t understand how vital they are, but since I’ve gone to them, they are very important. Just being in that environment, seeing things first-hand in person with the coach is crazy.”
After spending the day in Miami, Littleton feels as if he now has a greater understanding of the program and coach Jackson as well. Getting to see Coral Gables with his own eyes was extremely impactful for the No. 27 cornerback in the 2025 class.
“This visit definitely had an impact,” Littleton said. “Just getting out here and meeting with the coach Jackson was big as was seeing his philosophies. Being here in person gives you a different point of view and lets you really see where you are with a team in the recruiting process.”
CaneSport’s take
Jackson has done a great job of recruiting Littleton and seems to have the Hurricanes in contention with several programs across the country. Coming out of his visit, it seems like Miami has moved the needle some for Littleton, who is beginning to blossom into one of the best corners in the country.
