Brown is a consistent performer and shows up week in and week out. He can be used as an interior rusher or moved outside for a bigger scheme and fit. He has good strength and physicality and will use that to his advantage, along with his hands to fight off his blocker. He does well as a run stuffing lineman and has the short area burst and quickness to bring pressure from the inside and slip past his lineman.

Read EvaluationAndy Pham | Prep Redzone Scout
Brown is a good athlete with a nice frame for a versatile rusher. He’ll line up as a defensive tackle and can line up as an edge rusher. Brown showcases good physicality in his game and is generated with a good first step that allows him to gain positional advantage over his blocker. He uses his lateral quickness to get an edge on his blocker, has strong, active hands to get the lineman off-balanced, and will use his closing speed to get to the ball carrier. When Brown lines up as a defensive tackle, he’ll use his quickness to his advantage, he has a nice jab step that he’ll use and then get laterally to have the guard get out of position and then uses his power to win and then he’ll use a straight bull rush to get his lineman off balanced. He sheds his blocks nicely and his versatility helps him as he can line up anywhere along the front four. Brown will be a player that gets looked at regionally and will garner D1 looks.
