Four-star running back Gideon Davidson became the first member of Clemson's 2025 recruiting class Wednesday.
Davidson, No. 51 in the 2025 ESPN 300, is the cycle's fifth-ranked running back and would be the first ESPN 300 running back to sign with the program since Will Shipley (No. 22 overall, No. 2 RB) in 2021.
"Coach [Dabo] Swinney and [running backs] coach [C.J.] Spiller, they're just great guys," Davidson told ESPN. "They're good Christian guys and I just enjoy being around them and they see something in me, so I really appreciate that and I'm just excited to be one of their players.
