New Texas DB garnering attention with spot on preseason true freshman All-American team

Texas standout freshman cornerback, Graceson Littleton, was officially named to On3's true freshman All-American team this morning following an incredibly productive summer in Austin.

He's been running with the starting defensive unit quite a bit in fall camp and has looked very good in team drills for DC Pete Kwiatkowski. Littleton hasn't just been rotating in with the 1's in practice, he's been taking the field as the starting "star" or nickel in Texas' defense. It's incredible that he's been so effective as a first-year player for the Longhorns in practice, and not many players have the type of opportunity that he has heading into the 2025 season.

He has enough size (6'0". 180 lbs.) and length to be an effective player in the slot, as well as on special teams, which is a huge "plus" for a player like Littleton.

The coaching staff has been raving about him since the spring, with Sark having this to say about the true freshman:

"Graceson Littleton, for us, this guy had a great spring. I feel like I talked about him a lot, and maybe it was not fair to him because I was talking about him too much. But he just comes back. He works. He’s very savvy. He’s smart, he’s tough. He works at his craft. Football is the most important thing in his life, and it shows. He went out and had a good day today. You coach him hard. He takes hard coaching. He responds. He tries to get better. It’s a good start for him with where he’s at."

Littleton joins the likes of Ohio State's Devin Sanchez, LSU's D.J. Pickett, Syracuse's Demetres Samuel Jr., and Georgia Tech's Tae Harris on this year's preseason true freshman All-American list.
