Top linebacker with family ties to Clemson talks recruitment

One of the top prospects in the Palmetto State for the 2023 recruiting class also happens to be the son of two former Tiger athletes.

Jalen Rambert, a four-star linebacker from Powdersville (S.C.) High School, is ranked among the top 100 prospects in his class regardless of position by 247Sports.

His father, Bernard, was a running back at Clemson from 1998-2002 and was roommates with former Clemson wide receiver and current offensive coordinator Tony Elliott. Rambert’s mother, meanwhile, played soccer for the Tigers.

The Clemson Insider recently caught up with Rambert, who has early scholarship offers from Virginia Tech, Arkansas, UAB, Middle Tennessee and Florida A&M, while a number of other schools including Clemson are showing interest in the sophomore recruit.
