Littleton, at 6-foot-0, 180 pounds out of Tampa (Fla.), Wiregrass Ranch, made his first start and looked very comfortable against the Buckeyes’ talented wideouts, like Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate. He finished with one tackle and one pass breakup for an overall grade of 83.3%.

It was his coverage of Smith that drew rave reviews.

Littleton was named an On3 Preseason True Freshman All-American last month.

He arrived in Austin in 2025, enrolling early. He was ranked as the No. 68 overall prospect, the No. 9 cornerback, and the No. 11 player in Florida in the 2025 Rivals Industry Ranking. On3 at the time ranked Littleton as the No. 49 overall prospect, the No. 6 cornerback, and the No. 6 player in Florida.
