Tigers intrigued by fast-rising Massachusetts edge rusher

Brockton (Mass.) Thayer Academy defensive end/outside linebacker Samuel Okunlola has seen his recruitment take off over the last several months.

Since receiving his first Power Five scholarship offer from Arizona State in September, the 6-foot-4, 225-pound class of 2022 prospect has picked up offers from schools such as Penn State, Texas, Indiana, Nebraska, Syracuse, Duke, Vanderbilt, West Virginia, Arizona, Colorado and many others.

Okunlola now holds around 30 offers in total.

“It feels good,” he said of the offers rolling in. “It feels exciting.”

Okunlola recently reached out to Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables to express interest, which has since been reciprocated by Venables and other members of the Tigers’ defensive staff.
