The Clemson Tigers’ soon-to-be linebacker received a high honor ahead of his final game not wearing the Paw. Fivc-star Sammy Brown is one of four Clemson signees at the All-American Bowl and he earned their most coveted award for a defender.

Brown was named the All-American Bowl’s Defensive Player of the Year for his impressive senior season at Jefferson High School. He led the Dragons to a 13-1 season and finished the year with 153 total tackles, 12 for loss and two interceptions.
