About Donnovan

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I play with a speed to power concept. I use my long arms to disrupt passing lanes and keep blockers at a distance.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

Growth Mindset I believe my abilities can be improved through effort

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I have just transferred back to Palisades High School, and I will see what opportunities are available this upcoming year.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I would attend and help with youth services at Apex Baptist Church prior to moving back to Charlotte.

What type of college are you looking for?

A college with a mature environment with a great tradition of growth, graduation, and a desire to win.

After playing his freshman year at Palisades, Brown played for Apex as a sophomore, racking up 28 tackles and three sacks. Now, he’s moving back to Palisades and is a huge boost for a team with an already-strong pass rush. He has length and past production and I think he could make some noise this summer at college camps.
