With one of Clemson’s coaches watching from the sidelines, Tigers commitment LaVonta Bentley had a huge game for his high school team this past Friday night.

The four-star linebacker led Jackson-Olin High School (Birmingham, Ala.) to a 34-13 win over Carver High (Birmingham), recording 11 tackles including a sack on defense and also rushing for three touchdowns on four carries offensively.

Bentley and the Jackson-Olin defense held Carver to just 25 yards and one first down in the first half.

“It felt awesome,” Bentley said of his standout performance in Jackson-Olin’s victory, which improved its season record to 5-0.
