Expert Analysis
Connor Jackson | Prep Redzone Scout
Brown really flashed as a sophomore and plays his own part in what should be one of the state’s best RB duos in 2026. Brown is a strong, well-developed prospect who really flashed as a sophomore. Brown is a physically demanding runner who can wear down the defense with his size. He is a natural candidate to fall forward and stay upright thanks to his weight, but he welcomes contact and drives his feet through traffic, which maximizes his best trait. He is a good athlete for his size and flashes the burst to create his own yards and find space. I am expecting another big year for Brown, and it’s a matter of time before his inevitable breakout on the recruiting trail.

He may not have lit up the stat sheet, but Brown certainly showed this fall that he deserved to be ranked in the newest 2028 Prep Redzone rankings. Sharing the load for a very strong North Gwinnett team, Brown brought plenty of speed and acceleration to the Bulldog rushing attack. He ran hard, he’s shifty, and made the most of his opportunities throughout the season. He only ran the ball 67 times but took them 485 yards and five touchdowns. His natural talent and potential is easy to see and he’s likely bound for a massive and possible breakout junior season next fall. His best football is still ahead of him and his ranking could be too in 2026.

A promising 2028 running back in Suwannee with dependable hands out of the backfield and the ability to be physical in the run game, Brown is a strong back for his age who has been a complimentary option for the Bulldog offense this year. He’s got his opportunities to run the ball and has taken full advantage. He’s run 37 times for 230 yards and three scores for his 8-1 North Gwinnett team. He’s rushed for at least one touchdown in each of his last three games and has his best football way ahead of him. He’s one of the top 2028 running backs in the region and should have a bigger role in the offense next year as a junior.
