Four-Star RB Gideon Davidson commits to Clemson

Class of 2025 four-star running back Gideon Davidson of Lynchburg (VA) Liberty Christian Academy announced his commitment to Clemson Wednesday morning.

The 6-foot, 190 pounder chose the Tigers over Michigan, Tennessee, and others.

Davidson on why he chose Clemson

“I considered academics,  culture on and off the field by the players and staff, opportunity to win a national championship, developing a really good relationship with a rb coach who played at a high level, a school & fb program really interested in preparing me well for life after football, use of rbs in their offensive scheme, had a real good student Christian ministry and if possible within 6 hours of home. Clemson had all of those factors that’s why I went ALL IN.”

The culture at Clemson played a huge role in Davidson’s decision 

“I love the culture at Clemson. Genuine family feeling. A sense that they care about me beyond my football ability. Emphasize academics. I really think I’m going to like the PAW program. Players and/or coaches not getting in trouble or having incidents off the field.”

Message to 2025’s

“Why wait? Go ALL IN as soon as possible.  Then we can build a GREAT 2025 class to support the 22, 23, 24 classes. Let’s do our part in bringing a Natty back to Tiger town. We got this! Clemson is the best culture in the country for college football. You know it. Come join me 2025’s!”

Davidson ranks as the No. 69 player in the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also tabs in as the No. 6 running back and the No. 2 player in the state of Virginia.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $63K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV).
