2026 DB Malcolm Brown Malcolm Brown 5'11" | 185 lbs | RB/DB South Charleston | 2026 State WV was a bright spot during a rough season for South Charleston earning 2nd Team All-MSAC honors. Brown totaled 53 tackles and 2 interceptions during his junior season along with 1,000 all-purpose yards. He’s a versatile athlete who can line up in a variety of spots on both sides of the ball but appears to have the highest ceiling at safety. Brown is a physical player who will come downhill and lay the boom and has the athleticism to cover ground quickly. Box safety feels like his best role as a talented run-stopper who can rush the passer as well.
