Brown-Shuler (6-4, 300), ranked No. 118 nationally by Rivals.com, called Oklahoma the other finalist. But that is as much because someone else had to be said in contention.
South Carolina, Georgia and Michigan were other schools in the race along the way, while Brown-Shuler also held offers from Ohio State, Texas A&M, Penn State, USC, UNC and Colorado among others.

Brown-Shuler picked up one of the two early offers Dabo Swinney conveyed before formally opening the 2024 recruiting doors. He had participated in the Swinney Camp the previous summer and collected his offer at the 2022 April spring game.
Eason picked up where predecessor Todd Bates left off in pursuing Brown-Shuler as Clemson's priority.
Brown-Shuler would appear at three Clemson home games through the fall, during which time the Tigers seized command over South Carolina; he was born in Columbia, and many family members remain in Lexington County.
Brown-Shuler made Clemson's elite junior day in January and took one final trip to check out Michigan before calling it a recruitment.
The Tigers are only planning to bring in two defensive tackles for this class, with Brown-Shuler joining Norcross (Ga.) Meadowcreek four-star Champ Thompson on the commitment list.
He pushes Clemson's total to eight overall, including Kennesaw (Ga.) North Cobb four-star running back David Eziomume, Woodstock (Ill.) Marion Central Catholic four-star tight end Christian Bentancur, LaGrange (Ga.) four-star safety Noah Dixon, Tampa (Fla.) Carrollwood Day four-star corner Tavoy Feagin, Tampa (Fla.) Jesuit linebacker Drew Woodaz and Cornelius (N.C.) Hough kicker Nolan Hauser.
