3 high school standouts in Dave Clawson's Wake Forest for the class of 2025 ft. Tyler Houser

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons have had a decent recruiting summer this year. Dave Clawson and company have already landed 17 commitments and are poised to land more in the coming weeks. However, they haven't yet added talent from the class of 2025 who is rated higher than a three-star

Nine of Wake Forest's 17 commitments are from defensemen from the class of 2025. Wake Forest lost some key secondary pieces this year and Clawson and his recruiting team will hope to shore up that end as soon as possible. The North Carolina-based team will hope to have an improved season this year after finishing 4-8 in 2023.

Let's look at the Demon Deacons' top three commitments from the class of 2025.

3 high school standouts in Wake Forest

#1, Jaishaun Offutt

Jaishaun Offutt, the three-star recruit from John Handley High School announced his commitment to Wake Forest earlier this month. The 6-foot-4 offensive lineman chose the Demon Deacons over Navy, Army, Air Force, Bucknell, and Campbell.

Offutt spoke about building a relationship with Wake Forest's offensive line coach, Nick Tabacca before announcing his commitment.

"I've always been in contact with Coach (Nick) Tabacca," the lineman told Demon Deacon Digest. "We've always been trying to build the relationship. He always wanted to get me down to campus to see me live in action."

Offutt is ranked no.1152 nationally and is the 73rd-best offensive lineman in the country, as per the On3 Industry Rankings. He is also the 35th-best overall prospect from the state of Virginia.

#2, Jamien Little

Jamien Little, the three-star recruit from North Carolina was heavily recruited by multiple ACC teams, including the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. The 6-1 athlete eventually chose to commit to the Demon Deacons over other programs such as Duke, NC State, Georgia State, and Virginia Tech.

Little received an offer from the Demon Deacons in December last year and took an unofficial visit to the school's campus on March 21. The North Carolina native caught 73 passes for 1,477 yards and 20 touchdowns in his junior year.

Little is ranked No. 870 nationally and is the 47th-best player at his position from the class of 2025, as per On3 Industry Rankings. He is also the 25th-best overall prospect from the state of North Carolina.

#3, Tyler Houser

A three-star recruit from New Jersey, Tyler Houser is the highest-rated player on Wake Forest's roster from the class of 2025. He announced his commitment to the Demon Deacons on March 27 this year.

Houser spoke about his commitment and his relationship with the linebackers coach Glenn Spencer and head coach Dave Clawson.

"(Spencer) flew up to my school like two weeks (after the offer) in a snow storm so that meant a lot," Houser said, as per 247Sports. "Coach Clawson, a few weeks later flew up to my school to see me so that meant a lot. It's kind of a bit of a relief because I found a home after looking for a while. I am super hyped."

Houser is ranked no.785 nationally and is the 83rd-best linebacker from the class of 2025, as per On3 Industry Rankings. He is also the 24th-best overall prospect from the state of New Jersey.
