Dabo Swinney’s speech to the recruits Saturday afternoon was so good that one former NFL running back was ready to commit. Instead, it was his son who committed to the Tigers.
Elite Retreat visitor Brayden Jacobs, a 4-star offensive lineman out of Buford (GA) announced the news on Sunday afternoon. Jacobs is a unanimous 4-star-rated prospect and ranked as high as No. 103 overall with Rivals (No. 12 OT).
He is the son of former NFL running back Brandon Jacobs, who played college football at Auburn and Southern Illinois. Jacobs visited for the Florida State game last year and also made stops at Alabama, Georgia, LSU and Tennessee.
