More Good News: Just In – Oklahoma 5-Star DB Casen Calmus Commits to Clemson Tigers

Clemson football continues to make waves on the recruiting trail, and today’s announcement is another game-changer for the Tigers. Casen Calmus, a highly sought-after 5-star defensive back from Oklahoma, has officially committed to Clemson, adding even more firepower to Dabo Swinney’s already impressive 2025 recruiting class.

A Game-Changing Talent

Calmus is widely regarded as one of the premier defensive backs in the country. Standing at 6’1” and weighing 190 pounds, he possesses a rare combination of size, speed, and football IQ that has scouts raving. Known for his ball-hawking skills, physicality, and ability to shut down even the best wide receivers, Calmus has drawn comparisons to NFL standouts like Minkah Fitzpatrick and Jalen Ramsey.

In his junior season at Del City High School, Calmus recorded seven interceptions, 12 pass breakups, and over 50 tackles, including several highlight-reel plays that showcased his versatility. Whether in man coverage, zone schemes, or blitzing off the edge, Calmus has shown he can excel in any defensive setup.

Why Clemson?

Calmus’ decision to choose Clemson over offers from other powerhouse programs, including Alabama, Oklahoma, and Texas, speaks volumes about the Tigers’ ability to attract elite talent. In his announcement, Calmus credited Clemson’s family-oriented culture, developmental track record, and the opportunity to play under defensive coordinator Wes Goodwin as key factors in his decision.

“Clemson feels like home,” Calmus said during his commitment ceremony. “Coach Swinney and Coach Goodwin showed me that it’s not just about football here—it’s about becoming a better person and a better player. I’m excited to be part of a program that values excellence on and off the field.”

Impact on Clemson’s Future

Calmus’ commitment is a significant boost to Clemson’s 2025 recruiting class, which is already shaping up to be one of the best in the nation. His presence in the secondary will add depth and dynamism to a defense known for its aggressive style and ability to develop NFL-ready talent.

For the Tigers, landing a player of Calmus’ caliber underscores their ongoing resurgence in recruiting. After a brief dip in recent years, Swinney and his staff have doubled down on their efforts, and the results are paying off. Calmus is the second 5-star recruit to commit to Clemson this month, signaling that the Tigers remain a force to be reckoned with on the national stage.

Final Thoughts

Clemson fans have every reason to celebrate the addition of Casen Calmus. His commitment not only strengthens the Tigers’ secondary but also reaffirms Clemson’s status as a destination for the nation’s top talent. With players like Calmus leading the way, the future of Clemson football looks brighter than ever.
