did a great job in his sophomore season for the Tigers and moves into the Top 50 of the 2028 rankings as a result. He’s a two-way standout up front and is equally talented at both positions that will earn him college attention in the future. If he keeps progressing physically, Browning will see his stock rise even further.

. His future is bright as a two-way player who made his mark along the offensive line as a freshman but also has a lot of potential as a defensive lineman. He’s a name to keep tabs on over the next three years and monitor his progression.
Here’s what we recently said about Browning in our 2028 Rankings Debut article:

. He saw mostly reps along the offensive line as a varsity freshman starter last season, but Browning has done some good things at defensive line at camps this summer. How his body develops over the next three years will determine which side of the line he ends up on in college. Browning has the early athleticism that will translate well at either position, and he did a nice job as a puller from his tackle spot on offense. He has the potential to be a big-time stock riser in the rankings in the future as he adds size with the physical traits that he already has.”

was a varsity player for the Chapmanville Tigers as a freshman sliding in at left tackle in year one at the high school level. Browning has quality early length with the potential to keep growing and has the frame to add significant mass in time. Playing left tackle as a freshman speaks to his early talent level and bodes well for a bright future in their program. Browning brought a lot of value as a run blocker and consistently got consistent push on his freshman tape with early physicality. He’s also a quality athlete for a young big man with signs of footwork that could allow him to stick at tackle if he can continue to get longer.
