Clemson offer excites 2017 4-star QB

It's been a whirlwind three-months for Class of 2017 four-star Loganville (Ga.) Grayson quarterback Chase Brice. After winning the Rivals Quarterback Challenge regional in Atlanta, Brice saw his recruitment explode, with his offer list now into double-digits.
The most recent school to join his list might be the most notable to date, as Clemson offered Brice after he camped last month. The offer came as a pleasant surprise.

"When I got the Clemson offer I had gone into the camp just looking to go there and compete and get to know Coach Streeter a little better," Brice said. "I had talked to him on the phone before but that was a good offer for me. I like them a lot. I got to know Coach Swinney, I like him a lot and I just really like that offer."
While Brice isn't exactly a statue in the pocket, he doesn't have the same dual-threat ability as Clemson's current starter Deshaun Watson. He said discussions on his potential haven't gotten that in-depth yet, but he will be watching the Tigers offense with a closer eye this fall.
"They haven't told me anything about how I would fit," Brice said. "I guess this season will determine how they use me. Say Deshaun Watson gets hurt, they have a couple of backups that have a similar skill set to me I will get a look but they haven't really talked about it."
While Brice said he was excited that the offer came in, he said he wasn't tempted to commit on the spot. Instead he wants to continue to weigh his options.
"I like everything about Clemson but it wasn't as tempting to commit," Brice said. "Because I still want to get out there and explore more schools and get to know more coaches and see which offense will fit me best."
There will likely be several of other options that still will emerge for Brice and he's hoping another solid camp showing will lead to an offer when the throws for Nick Saban at Alabama this week.
"I'm going to go to Alabama to throw on Thursday," Brice said. "I'm not really nervous. I went to one of their camps two years ago but I'm interested to meet Coach Kiffin and show him what I can do."
