I can't add too much to this, but I used to live in Thomasville. I was a sportswriter for the Thomasville Times-Enterprise. I left three years ago so Brandon was just a freshman and he was on the JV then. Anyway, I still stay in touch with some people down there and I was told that Brandon has a lot of family in Ohio and that is why he is high on the Buckeyes.
Talk is that Clemson is still the team to beat, but it's good to hear that he has some family ties here. It may just make pulling him from the South a little easier. Like somebody else said, that part of the country is tough for any school outside of the Southeast to recruit in. It's in Florida State's backyard, but it's also big-time UGA country.
For those that don't know, Thomasville is the hometown of Charlie Ward. Thomas County (population 40,000) has produced 25 NFLers. It's a talent-laden area.
Hopefully Brandon hit it off with Jermale Hines while he was up in Columbus. Jermale played 3 years at Berrien High School in Nashville, Georgia. Berrien is in the same region as Thomasville HS.
