Brockton (Mass.) Thayer Academy four-star defensive end Samuel Okunlola has collected nearly three dozen scholarship offers and added a huge one to his list over the weekend when Clemson pulled the trigger.
“It felt exciting,” Okunlola said of the offer from the Tigers. “It’s definitely a good feeling, getting an offer from one of the best schools in the country.”
Clemson defensive ends coach Lemanski Hall informed Okunlola of the offer on Saturday after he spoke with defensive coordinator Brent Venables a few hours earlier.
“When I talked to Coach Venables, he just checked in with me, asked how I was doing and just told me some of the facts about Clemson,” Okunlola said.
