Last week, Duke upset then-No. 9 Clemson 28-7, prompting questions about Brown’s commitment.
As for Brown’s commitment, he recently re-affirmed his pledge to Clemson, indicating he believes in the program.

There’s a lot to be fixed but I know that they can do it. There’s a reason I committed to Clemson and it’s because I believe in the coaches and players there right now.”
Clemson’s 2024 recruiting class is ranked No. 15 nationally and consists of 17 pledges.
Brown is the unquestioned headliner – and apparently his football skills come with a sense of humor.
