The Latest From DT Hevin Brown-Shuler
SPORTSTALK / February 8, 2023
Football coaches across America would move heaven and earth to get their hands on DT Hevin Brown-Shuler (6-4 290) of Atlanta. He is one of the major prospects in the 2024 class, and USC is strongly in the mix at this point. He has visited both and they were two of his top 13 in his most recent shortlist.Brown-Shuler’s last visit to USC also was a good one for him. He was for the Texas A&M game, a big victory for the Gamecocks. That left him with a positive outlook for where Shane Beamer is taking the program.
“It’s a great program. Coach Beamer and (DL) Coach (Jimmy) Lindsey, they are two great coaches and I love talking to them,” Brown-Shuler said. “They are really hot in recruiting right now. They are really looking to get their pieces and try and get to the national title.”
Brown-Shuler lived in Columbia until the first grade, and his grandmother still resides in the Midlands and lives about twenty minutes from Williams-Brice Stadium. He visits her frequently and was just in last weekend. His grandmother and mother, who attended Brookland-Cayce High School before moving to the Atlanta area, are two of his primary advisers on his recruiting, which he hopes to wrap up by June.
“Definitely just praying about the process, but I’m looking forward to narrowing it down,” Brown-Shuler said. “I’m still evaluating things. When I and my mom talk, we have an idea of who is in that op threat, but we are still praying about things and talking it over. I want to commit before my senior season so that I can be locked in with the school and focus on my senior year.”
Brown-Shuler also took in January junior days at Michigan and Georgia. He also has on his shortlist Penn State, Colorado, Southern Cal, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, North Carolina, Oregon, and Virginia. He’ll take more visits in the weeks ahead before the next step in the process.
“Just trimming the list and talking to the coaches and see their exact plan that they have for me,” Shuler-Brown said. “It all comes to education. Education is first and foremost, even with the football, so you kind of want to go where you have the best of both worlds.”
