Expert Analysis
Paul Gregorian | Prep Redzone Scout
Brown is a true power back that gets downhill in a hurry and is extremely tough to bring down once he gets going with elite contact balance, leg drive through contact and moves very well for his size. He shows he can navigate through traffic with lateral quickness and twitch and looks for contact in the hole while always falling forward and barreling for extra yards. He is light on his feet and fluid for his size and has a rare combination of size/speed and is one of the top returning backs across Norcal heading into the off-season. Brown went off against a stout Serra Padres front seven and rushed for nearly 200 yards on the ground and 4 total touchdowns on the afternoon.

Brown is one of the top players across northern California and one of the more bruising running backs in the state. He is a downhill thumper that runs behind his pad and it’s tough to take down once he gets going and can gain the tough yards inside while also having some sneaky open field speed and the ability to bounce it outside when needed. Only a junior, he will be one of the top returning backs in his class across the state heading into next year and should help lead Riordan into a Norcal bowl game this December. He erupted against St. Ignatius on Saturday afternoon rushing for 160+ yards and 4 touchdowns on less then 20 carries.

Read EvaluationJordan Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
Brown is an up and coming back that had a breakout sophomore season rushing for over 900 yards and nine touchdowns. At 6’0” 205 lbs. he’s got a strong and well-built frame to be a physical, downhill running back who thrives between the tackles. His ability to break tackles, gain yards after contact, and then extend gains with speed set him apart from other RB’s in the 2027 class. Like his ability to wear down defenses over the course of the game with a consistent attacking running style until he eventually pops one. Flashes great balance through contact to break through the first level and is a tough tackle for any secondary defender in space. Also shows good elusiveness in the open field to weave through defenders and avoid contact when needed. Holds an offer from UNLV and is ranked inside the top 10 at his position.
