2024 5-star LB Sammy Brown Recaps Georgia Visit
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image source="featured_image" img_size="large"][vc_column_text]In a loaded 2024 class in the state of Georgia, Jefferson High School’s 5-star Sammy Brown leads the way. The 6’2, 223 pound Brown plays both running back and linebacker for Jefferson but projects as a linebacker at the next level. Despite just finishing his sophomore year, he is already a priority recruit for several schools including the reigning national champions Georgia Bulldogs. Recently, the high-profile Brown visited Georgia to get a better feel for what they can offer him as a program.
On the unofficial visit, he was able to talk to Georgia co-defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach Glenn Schumann. Brown said his connection with Schumann is a major part of why he is interested in Georgia. “He’s really a genuine person. He’s not going to say one thing and do another. He really cares about me as a person, not just a recruit.” This genuineness has kickstarted the relationship between the two and has placed the Bulldogs in a good spot with the 5-star.
Schumann isn’t the only coach standing out to Brown, however. The entire staff has stood out to the recruit. “It was fun to see all the coaches competing against each other and see their competitive natures.” This competitive nature that they carry onto the practice field, film room, and ultimately game day drives the constantly winning program on the field and the recruiting trail. “It really plays a great reflection on the elite coaches that Georgia has. Their success can almost directly be pointed back to their coaches’ [competitive nature].” Their recent recruiting classes and the success the staff has had developing those recruits into a champion team support this claim.
Georgia is making the in-state Sammy Brown a priority early for the 2024 class. Despite going to school just 30 minutes away, Brown says that distance will not play a major role in his recruitment but rather the people will. “When I make my decision, I want to go to a place that has great people with the right mindset to help me on and off the field. They’re going to help me past college football into the years ahead.” Georgia’s coaching staff seems to be making a genuine connection with the five-star and that will go a long way in how he views the Bulldogs.
