Clemson has grabbed the momentum for a five-star target

Sammy Brown was at Clemson this weekend for his official visit to Clemson. The narrative has been Clemson and Georgia at the top, then Ohio State, Oklahoma and Tennessee rounding out the top five.

The No. 16 prospect in the On3 Industry Ranking has tripped to Clemson over half a dozen times. He has strong relationships with coaches, players and recruits. Heading into this weekend, Brown was set to visit Clemson, Georgia, Ohio State and Oklahoma to finish out the month of June, but there is some buzz around the Tigers.

Based on intel, the five-star linebacker out of Jefferson (Ga.) is coming out of this visit very high on Clemson. He has always spoken about his comfort level with the staff and the environment there. That has been the chatter behind the scenes the last 24 hours or so.

Georgia has been viewed as the frontrunner for Brown heading into this weekend, but coming out of it, Clemson has emerged as the favorite. The buzz has really picked up around the Tigers and the No. 2 linebacker in the country.

On3’s Scouting Report

A physical freak of nature whose athletic ability is off the charts. Stands in at 6-foot-2.5, 225 pounds with a 6-foot-6 wingspan. Jumped a 34-inch vertical and 10-foot-1 broad jump during the spring camp circuit prior to his junior season. Ran some mind-boggling track times during his sophomore track and field season with a 10.70 100m, a 21.81 200m and jumped a 22-foot-2 long jump as well. The athleticism translates to the field with his ability to chase down ball carriers from sideline to sideline popping off the screen as well as his long speed as a ball carrier. High upside prospect whose athletic ability alone makes him a borderline lock as a NFL draft pick.
