Here’s what On3’s Charles Power had to say about Littleton.
Graceson Littleton has been a mainstay on Texas’ defense throughout the season, flashing as early as the Week 1 showcase game against Ohio State. His coverage polish and advanced change of direction have made him an instant contributor at slot corner for the Longhorns.
Littleton has logged 236 snaps and leads all true freshman cornerbacks with two interceptions, including one off John Mateer in Red River on Saturday. He has also been active in run support with 17 stops on the season. Littleton’s cover skills give him the potential to see additional work on the outside as his role expands.
The 6-foot, 180-pound defender from Tampa (Fla.) Wiregrass Ranch was ranked as a four-star prospect, the No. 49 overall player, and the No. 6 cornerback in the 2025 On300.
Littleton this season has logged 17 total tackles with 1.0 for loss. He has two interceptions, two pass breakups, and one forced fumble. Littleton has been the Longhorns’ main Star this season, but he has also seen some action at cornerback during the first half of Texas’ season.
“He works,” Steve Sarkisian said in July. “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.”
