Top-ranked 2024 LB Sammy Brown visiting Clemson this weekend

Jefferson (Ga.) linebacker Sammy Brown will join a loaded visitor weekend at Clemson, he announced Thursday night on Twitter.

Brown is the No. 6 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 1 linebacker in the class and No. 1 player from the state of Georgia.

Despite it being early in his recruitment, Brown already has an idea of what he wants out of a school.

“Culture is really everything about a place and that’s really what I’m looking for,” Brown said at Under Armour Next Football Camp Series: Atlanta the weekends ago. “Taking out a couple coaches, putting in a couple coaches isn’t going to change the whole culture of place.”

Sammy Brown already holds offers from Georgia, Tennessee, Ohio State, Auburn, Notre Dame, Oklahoma and a number of others.

Clemson will host Sammy Brown, other top 2024 targets

The Tigers have set their sights on the 2023 and 2024 classes and that focus crystalizes this weekend with a quality group of visitors slated for unofficial visits.

While there are some juniors scheduled to visit, the list does lean more toward the 2024 class, headlined by top sophomore recruit and No. 1 quarterback Jadyn Davis of Charlotte (N.C.) Providence Day.

Clemson has been heavily involved in Davis’ recruitment for quite some time. During the fall football season, he told On3’s Jeremy Johnson he’s built a great bond with Tigers’ quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei. 

While a lot of the attention has been on Davis’ visit, insiders are just as fired up about KJ Bolden’s trip to Clemson this weekend. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound four-star prospect out of Buford, Ga., ranks as the No. 7 2024 prospect in the country.

Bolden told Joseph Hastings of On3’s Clemson Sports that he recently hopped on the phone with wide receivers coach Tyler Grisham ahead of his trip.

Four-star 2023 linebacker Jamal Anderson of Hoschton (Ga.) Mill Creek is heading to Clemson this weekend with hopes of earning an offer from the Tigers.

Anderson ranks as the No. 202 player in the On3 Consensus. He’s definitely a candidate for an offer because other linebacker offers, like Drayk Bowen (Notre Dame) and Raylen Wilson (Michigan), have already committed elsewhere. The Tigers have also started to expand their offer board with other names like Dee Crayton. Anderson certainly is a top prospect like Crayton. The good news is that the On3 RPM is trending toward the Tigers at 37.3%. That lean is even before Clemson has offered.
