5-Star Includes Clemson Among Top Schools

A top Clemson target has released his top schools list.

Five-star LB Cooper Witten (Liberty Christian, TX) released his Top 10 on Thanksgiiving night, with Clemson, Notre Dame, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Texas Tech, Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Ohio State and Oklahoma all making the cut. Witten is the son of former NFL All-Pro TE Jason Witten.

The 6-foot-2, 215-pound prospect picked up an offer from the Tigers back in the summer after working out at camp. He was scheduled to visit for the Syracuse game but the trip would end up being scrapped due to travel issues.

Witten has well over two dozen offers in total. As a junior, Witten tallied 41 catches for 709 yards with 12 touchdowns. On the defensive side, he was credited with 61 tackles, nine tackles for loss, two sacks and 10 quarterback hurries. Witten also forced seven fumbles, recovered four fumbles, picked off one pass and had four passes defended.

The 247 Composite ranks Witten No. 21 overall and as the top linebacker in the 2027 recruiting class.
