Clemson LB Sammy Brown preseason

Overview

In late July, Clemson linebacker Sammy Brown, coming off a rookie‑of‑the‑year season, stressed that his focus was on fall camp, improving his play and leadership, and downplaying NFL draft speculation. He highlighted his preparation alongside fellow ACC newcomer Samuel from Syracuse.

By early August, preseason analyst Pro Football Focus ranked Brown No. 8 among returning college linebackers, citing his 22 mph top speed, low missed‑tackle rate, and a suite of 2025 statistics that earned him first‑team all‑conference honors and a projected top‑40 NFL draft selection.

The coverage shows a shift from Brown’s personal preseason outlook to external validation of his performance and draft prospects as the 2026 college football season approaches.
