NFL Dad on When His Son Knew He Was a Clemson Tiger
A couple of prominent Clemson dads – former NFL Pro Bowl linebacker Keith Brooking, the father of true freshman tight end Logan Brooking, and Super Bowl Champion running back Brandon Jacobs, the father of true freshman offensive lineman Brayden Jacobs – were featured on the latest episode of Clemson Football’s official podcast, 2 Right Turns.
In a segment of the episode, Brandon reflected on when Brayden knew he wanted to be a Clemson Tiger.
As a unanimous four-star prospect in the 2025 recruiting class, ranked as the nation’s No. 55 overall prospect by 247Sports, Brayden had plenty of college options but chose Clemson over LSU, Alabama, Tennessee and South Carolina, among many others.
