A top Clemson offensive line target in the class of 2025 committed elsewhere on Friday.

Evans (Ga.) High School four-star Mason Short announced his verbal pledge to Georgia.

The 6-foot-6, 315-pound junior chose the Bulldogs over his other finalists — Clemson, Kentucky and Ohio State.

Short decommitted from Alabama in January, following the retirement of Nick Saban. He had previously been committed to the Tide since last April.

Clemson extended an offer to Short on Jan. 24, and he subsequently attended the Tigers’ elite junior day on Jan. 27 before returning to Tiger Town for a spring practice on March 13.

A top-100 national prospect according to multiple recruiting services, Short is ranked as high as the nation’s No. 77 overall prospect in the 2025 class by ESPN, which considers him the No. 11 offensive tackle nationally.

A limited number of signed footballs from Clemson’s 2022 class are still available.  Get yours while supplies last!  Visit Clemson Variety & Frame or purchase online!
