Sammy Brown, a five-star linebacker prospect in the Class of 2024, committed to Clemson on Monday.
The 6-foot-2, 230-pounder from Jefferson, Ga., is rated No. 14 overall in his class by the 247Sports composite rankings, No. 2 among linebackers.
He picked Clemson over Georgia, Ohio State, Oklahoma and Tennessee.
“To choose one school from among the final 5 was a nearly impossible task as they are all top notch programs headed by incredible men,” Brown wrote on social media. “My family and I have spent many months in prayer, seeking God’s will for my life. With that being said, I know God’s plan for my life takes me to Clemson, South Carolina.”
Coach Dabo Swinney’s Tigers went 11-3 (8-0 ACC) last season, winning the ACC title game against North Carolina before losing to Tennessee in the Orange Bowl. The 2016-17 and 2018-19 national champions will try to return to the College Football Playoff next season for the first time since 2020-21.
