Just a few weeks back, the Tigers made the cut for Brown’s final six schools, including Parkview OL JJ Brown has named his final six schools + the four he will take official visits to, including a recent add for the May 29-31 weekend.
“I’m big on relationships,” Brown said. “The second thing would probably be development, because at the end of the day, I’m trying to make it to the National Football League. ” Brown also spoke highly of his relationship with Tigers offensive line coach Matt Luke, who would oversee that development.
“My relationship with Coach Luke has been really good,” Brown said. “I know that he has developed players. Blake Miller justand he’s telling me that I’m the next one up. He told me: you’re athletic, you’re strong enough, and I believe if you get the right tools, you're going to be a first-rounder.

According to Brown, Clemson’s staff has consistently viewed him as an outside lineman rather than an interior option. Athleticism and strength are two areas that they see as key points to improve upon in college.
“You’ve got to have a lot of athleticism to play,” Brown said. “You’re playing against guys running 4.4s and 4.5s off the edge, so you have to be able to get to your spot and withstand whatever they have. I would also say that I need to work on my strength. Everybody is strong , everybody is strong in college.
It’s not just like playing against people in high school, where they might be 5-foot-8, and like 200 pounds. ” Also of note, Brown added that receiving an offer from the program carries significance to him for a personal reason.
“I was a big Clemson fan growing up,” he said. “I love Clemson, but I’m not biased to anything right now. ” Clemson will now look to make a strong impression during Brown’s official visit before his June 23 decision date arrives.
