Twitter reacts: Clemson lands 4-star CB, top-75 recruit from Lone Star State

Clemson continues to make noise in recruiting, picking up another commitment from a four-star prospect.

Clemson has made heavy noise in the 2024 recruiting cycle over the last few months, and the Tigers continued to add to their class on Saturday.

Corian Gipson announced his verbal pledge to Clemson at Lancaster High School (Lancaster, Texas) on Saturday, choosing the Tigers over the Texas Longhorns.

While there was a lot of speculation over which team Gipson would choose, the 6-foot, 170-pound defensive back ultimately FaceTimed head coach Dabo Swinney at his commitment announcement to let him know he is coming to Clemson.

Gipson is the No. 7 cornerback and the No. 67 overall recruit in the class of 2024, according to 247Sports Composite rankings.

With Gipson’s pledge, Clemson’s 2024 recruiting class has 17 commitments.

Here is how Twitter reacted to Gipson’s commitment:

4-star cornerback Corian Gipson commits to Clemson

Swinney and the Tigers land a four-star cornerback in the 2024 class.

Dabo Swinney and the Clemson football program have landed another big-time commitment in the 2024 class. 

Four-star cornerback Corian Gipson has committed to the Tigers, giving the program their 17th recruit in the 2024 class. Clemson beat Alabama, TCU, Texas, and Ohio State for the highly-touted recruits’ commitment. 

According to 247Sports composite rankings, Gipson currently ranks as the No.7 cornerback and No.67 overall recruit in the 2024 class. According to On3’s industry rankings, he ranks a bit lower as the No.8 CB and the No.73 overall recruit in the class.

The Tigers are clearly honing in on the secondary in their 2024 class, with commitments from four-star safety Ricardo Jones, four-star safety Tavoy Feagin and four-star safety Noah Dixon. Gipson is the highest-rated recruit of the four.

ESPN compares 5-star Clemson linebacker commit to ‘current college star,’ Ohio State All-American

Clemson’s 5-star linebacker commit Sammy Brown is compared to one of the best linebackers in the country.

The Clemson football program landed a commitment from one of the top recruits in the 2024 class, five-star linebacker Sammy Brown. 

According to 247Sports rankings, Brown currently ranks as the No.1 linebacker and the No.5 overall player in the 2024 class. He is currently the highest-ranked linebacker in 247Sports rankings history, an impressive feat for the future Tiger.

Brown has all the tools to be a star in college football, and recently, the five-star recruit has been compared to an All-American at the position. ESPN recently released an article comparing 2024 football recruits to current college stars ($), with Brown being compared to Ohio State star linebacker Tommy Eichenberg. Here is what writer Tom Luginbill had to say about Brown.

Sammy Brown, LB

2024 ESPN 300 ranking: 10
Commitment: Clemson
Player Comparison: Tommy Eichenberg, Ohio State (2019)

It can be tough to find an accurate comparison at the collegiate level for Brown because he is such a diverse and versatile player. But as he projects on defense, Ohio State’s Eichenberg immediately comes to mind.

Brown, a wrestling and track standout at Jefferson High School (Georgia), may be slightly faster and better overall, but as an in-the-box player, these two are eerily similar. They are tough, rugged and instinctive. They play with a high motor and exude leadership qualities. Tackle-to-tackle, Eichenberg and Brown can define the mentality of a defense.

High praise for Brown from Luginbill, saying Brown may be better overall than an All-American linebacker for one of the best programs in the country, is definitely saying something. Suppose Brown ends up being better than Eichenberg. In that case, the Tigers will have an insane run of top-tier linebackers coming through the program.

With the expectations that Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Barrett Carter will enter the 2024 NFL draft after this upcoming college football season, the Tigers will be in good hands with Brown anchoring their linebacker core.

Updated look at ACC football recruiting rankings for 2024

Here is an early look at how each team in the ACC is doing so far in the 2024 recruiting cycle.

The 2023 recruiting cycle is completed with national signing day in the books and Clemson, along with each team around the country having their 23′ classes solidified and signed.

Clemson has been one of the most consistent teams in the country, recruiting in the Dabo Swinney era. While this should continue, other programs around the ACC are getting back on track as they look to reclaim their former glory. With Name, Image, and Likeness changing the game in ways nobody could have ever imagined just a few years ago, football recruiting has shifted to a sign earlier landscape, making every bit of time count in the process.

Things are ramping up in the 24′ cycle, with ACC schools such as Florida State and Louisville already have five-star recruits committed as the ACC looks to compete with other Power 5 conferences over recruiting supremacy. So, who are the top classes in the ACC so far?

Here is an early look at the ACC football recruiting rankings for 2024 based on 247Sports Composite Rankings.
