Get to Know Aiden Brown
A few things to know about Aiden Brown is that he loves to kick the football and is new to the Brainerd program coached by Minnesota legend Ron Stolski. In reference to his teammates, they tell him that he has a very “low key and chill” personality when it comes to football. Brown is currently waiting to here from the MSHSL on becoming eligible this season for the Warriors which a decision should soon regarding his transfer.
Best Part About Being a Kicker in HS Football
“Being able to make my own practice and really go-in depth on my form and trying to correct my mistakes is huge” said Brown. Brown also jokes “not having to run as much” is another nice perk for kickers. Brown hasn’t had much in game action, but his longest kickoff to date is 57 yards.
College Interest
Over the summer, Brown took in camps from Minot State (ND) and Minnesota-Crookston. Had a great camp at Crookston and worked with Tom Miller and Mike Hepp who are both assistants for the Golden Eagles. Brown stated that once he gets more in game opportunities for the Warriors (once he’s eligible) the interest should follow.
What Has Brown Improved On As a Kicker
Similar to the game of golf, Brown told me “Keep your head down” is one of the things past coaches have told him to work on and he has “tremendously” improved on that skill in his kicking game. “I always like to see what happens after I kick it” Brown said but he’s noticed the difference in his kicks from this improvement he’s made as a now junior Kicker at Brainerd High School.
Kicking Mentor
Aiden credits Brent Grablachoff who is the owner/coach of Kicking World based out of Austin, Texas. “He knows what he’s doing with kicking, and his camps and top prospects really prove it” Brown said after I asked why Grablachoff is his main kicking mentor.
Individual/Team Goals
Individually, Brown stated he would like to be 100% on extra points and get some in game chances at some field goals. Another thing he talked about individually is “helping” with field position on kickoffs which is an underrated take I feel as a kicker. Team wise, Brown wants the Warriors to make the playoffs, win the entire battle of the Warriors special team unit and “stand as one” as he enters his career and Brainerd High School.
