Clemson Football finishes an impressive 2025 defensive line class with commitment from Top-60 prospect Bryce Davis
By John Chancey
The top three prospects in the Class of 2025 for Clemson Football were all defensive linemen.
Today, Bryce Davis made it a Top 4.
Davis announced his verbal commitment to Clemson Football during a lunchtime commitment at his high school.
He is a 4-star defensive line prospect in the 247Sports Composite. He is ranked 59th overall regardless of position.
Davis is getting ready to start his senior season at Grimsley High School in Greensboro, North Carolina. He was working with a top four of Clemson, Duke, Georgia, and South Carolina.
Most Crystal Balls on 247Sports were pointing towards Clemson, but a projection to Duke logged this morning kept everyone in suspense.
247Sports’ Andrew Ivins filed this in his scouting report on Davis:
"High-energy pass rusher that offers some position flexibility up front. Turned heads in a best-on-best setting at Under Armour’s Future 50 event spring before junior season, but had his 11th-grade campaign cut short due to a lower-body injury. At his best when attacking the corner from a two-point stance as his heavy hands and quick feet can put opposing tackles in compromising positions. Displays favorable block recognition at this stage and understands how to find leverage while maintaining gap integrity. Ceiling might be highest as an edge defender given how he creates pressure, but has some experience operating out of a three-point stance and could very well settle in as more of an interior option after a year or two in a college weight room as he’s already believed to be hovering around 6-foot-3, 245 pounds. Must keep progressing, but should be viewed as a future impact player at the Power Five level given the combination of his explosive tendencies and growth potential. Could crack the rotation early on at the next level as a subpackage rusher if there are no lingering health issues."

As you could surmise from Ivins's description, Davis is viewed as a defensive end prospect.
Davis is the fourth defensive line prospect to commit to Clemson in this cycle, following Amare Adams, Isaiah Campbell, and Ari Watford. Watford is the other end prospect in the group.
