The country’s top-ranked running back in the 2025 class is high on Clemson.

Dabo Swinney’s program piques the interest of Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) five-star Jordon Davison, who is planning to visit Clemson this spring.

“My interest level in Clemson is pretty high right now, I would say,” he told The Clemson Insider.

“It’s a great program,” he added. “They have a winning background, and they develop pro guys. So, it’s always a good opportunity.”

Davison, the nation’s No. 1 running back in his class per the 247Sports Composite rankings, is looking to check out both Clemson and in-state rival South Carolina this spring.

“I want to get down to South Carolina and Clemson,” he said.

Added Davison regarding what he’s looking forward to about visiting Clemson: “Just experiencing it all and soaking it in and just learning from the coaches and Coach (C.J.) Spiller, and him giving me tips on the game.”

Davison is developing a solid bond with Spiller, the former Tiger great and current Clemson running backs coach.

“He really likes me, and we’ve been building a good relationship,” Davison said.

“It’s a good relationship,” he added. “We talk about something new every time and it’s always learning, either with football or with life.”

Davison has communicated some over social media with another big-time prospect in the 2025 class – Providence Day (Charlotte, N.C.) five-star offensive lineman David Sanders – about possibly suiting up together at Clemson.

“Just talking about how we can build a powerhouse over there and bring the school another national championship,” Davison said.

Davison has accumulated a slew of scholarship offers and boasts an impressive offer list featuring schools such as Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, Georgia, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon, Penn State, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M and Southern Cal, to name some.

As a sophomore last season, Davison rushed for 1,514 yards and 17 touchdowns while averaging nearly 9 yards per tote.

Whichever program the 6-foot, 205-pounder chooses to play for down the road will be getting the complete package in him, both as an all-around back on the field and as a person off it.

“They’d get a great person off the field, first of all, and a do-it-all back,” he said. “It doesn’t matter what it is – pass blocking, catching the ball, standout plays for my teammates and scoring a lot of touchdowns.”

Davison, the No. 20 overall prospect in his class according to the 247Sports Composite, says where a school is located won’t be a factor in his future college decision.

“I feel like wherever the best fit is for me,” he said. “Location is not a problem because I have a lot of family members down that way, so it’s not really a big factor. Just wherever God takes me.”
