Cooper Brown - Milton-Union - OLB - 6'1" 170 lbs
Brown was all over the field on Friday for Milton-Union. He's one of their signal-callers on the defense and is getting better each week. He was able to make a few impact plays and changed the game for Milton-Union. He picked a ball off by jumping up and reaching up for it and racing down 30-yards.
