Brown was on campus for football games at both in-state schools this past fall.
His high school sent Rivals100 defensive end Cliff Matthews to Columbia in the Class of 2007. He spoke about what he liked about South Carolina.
"I like the coaching staff and the people," Brown said. "They have a good program and I also feel comfortable there."
Brown will attend the Gamecocks' Junior Day event next Saturday.
Clemson head coach Tommy Bowden extended a verbal scholarship offer to Brown while he was visiting Cheraw High last spring. Brown spoke about what he liked about the Tigers.
"I really, really like the campus," Brown said. "They also have a good program."
Brown hasn't been to Tennessee and Kentucky recently offered, so he didn't know as much about those two programs. He is interested in both, however.
