Among the prospects that visited Clemson for the spring game last weekend was Chandler (Ariz.) 2021 defensive lineman Brandon Buckner, the son of former Clemson and NFL defensive lineman Brentson Buckner.
“I really liked the atmosphere,” Brandon told The Clemson Insider. “My parents both went there. That’s how they met, and it just felt like home. Seeing all the fans out there was crazy, them running down the hill… I really liked the atmosphere and just the feeling of Clemson football, and I really enjoyed my time down there.”
Brandon made the trip to Clemson with his mother, as his father — now the defensive line coach for the Oakland Raiders — had to work.
