Profile: Brown has come a long way and in my opinion is clearly the best defensive player in the state this season. Even in a blowout loss to Bixby, the Spartans had to be careful and even went away from Brown. He is athletic enough to rush the passer and drop back into coverage. This past season he finished with 92 tackles, 31 tackles-for-loss, and 13 sacks. On top of that he had a blocked field goal, blocked a punt, had a pair of forced fumbles and recovered a fumble that he returned for a touchdown. His numbers as a junior in helping the Yellow Jackets get all the way to the Class 6A-II State Championship Game where they challenged Bixby were also outstanding. He had 75 total tackles, 30.5 tackles-for-loss, and 15 sacks. He also defended two passes, had two fumble recoveries, and an interception. He visited Oklahoma State early and had attention from Arizona State and Missouri. Oklahoma looked at him but did not offer until the last week of recruiting. He is a good student and quiet guy that lets his play do his talking.

Robert Allen’s Projection: Brown can be as good as he wants to be. He has the size, strength, and athleticism coming out of high school. He is definitely a player that can play as a freshman. Collin Oliver lit up the Big 12 as a freshman. Brown is of similar abilities except he comes in weighing what Oliver needed to work up to as a freshman. Brown is smart too, football smart, and will learn what he needs to in order to fit in the defense.
