Georgia linebacker makes the call for Clemson

One of Georgia’s top underclassmen, junior linebacker Sergio Allen of Fort Valley, committed Thursday night to Clemson while on an unofficial visit with his mom.

Allen, who said the commitment shuts down his recruiting, chose the Tigers over Alabama, Auburn, Georgia Tech and others. He’s Clemson’s second commitment for the 2020 class.

Allen has long liked the Tigers, having grown up across the border in Hart County before moving to south Georgia. He had a feeling a commitment would happen on the visit, but he wanted his mother to concur before making the pledge.

“She really liked the academics, she loved the facilities and the coaches, the players, she loved it all,” Allen said.
