FORT MYERS, Fla. — For four-star defensive lineman Derick Hunter and all the other players on his team, Dunbar High School head coach Sam Brown is more than just a coach — he’s a mentor and father figure.
“That’s what I signed up for,” Brown told The Clemson Insider during our Blue Chip Road Trip stop at Dunbar on Wednesday. “I’ve got 42 kids in here. So, they know they can call on me, they can lean on me. But at the same time, they’re going to get some tough love. We’re going to have some bad days, but at the end of the day, they’re going to toe the line and they’re going to the follow the rules, and that’s what makes Dunbar special.
