The Clemson football program landed one of the top recruits in the 2024 class, 5-star linebacker Sammy Brown.
The Tigers needed help at linebacker with the departure of Jeremiah Trotter Jr., and they got exactly that with Brown. There has been some serious hype around the young linebacker, and for good reason, he has all the tools to be one of the best linebackers in the country.
Clemson star linebacker Barrett Carter recently discussed what he’s seen from Brown so far, sharing praise for what Brown is capable of.
“That kid’s special, to say the least. He’s gifted. What I like about Sammy is that he’s very aware that football is such a mental game… he’s been hungry to learn and eager to learn, and he’s put in so much extra time besides what we have mandatory. Just trying to learn the place, he’ll come to me, ask me questions… he’s going to be special, but I’m really impressed with how smart he is,” Carter said.
Carter isn’t the only one who’s been impressed with Brown. Starting linebacker Wade Woodaz had excellent things to say about the freshman, particularly about his work in the weight room.
“He’s a machine in the weight room and on the field. Just steady Eddy, never phases,” Woodaz said. “Makes us all better just by pushing us because this guy is 18 years old coming in here and he’s stronger than most of us.”
Fans should be excited about Brown as he could be the Tigers’ next great linebacker.
