JEFFERSON, Ga. — Sammy Brown, the top-rated linebacker and the No. 5 overall prospect in the 2024 recruiting class in the country, according to 247Sports, has announced he has committed to Clemson to play football.
The Jefferson native made his announcement on Monday in a social media post. Following an official visit to Clemson recently, Brown choose the Tigers over Georgia, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Tennessee.
