, it’s clear that Brown is a next level talent and he’s going to have a huge off-season, and I believe he will have his best season this upcoming season in his senior year campaign. Brown has it all, he puts it out there on the gridiron and that’s why he’s a major force for his team at the linebacker position and you see why he’s got the offers that he has. Big year for Brown coming in ’26.

A tackling machine who lit up the stat sheet last year, Brown is one of the top two-way players in the state after an outstanding sophomore season last year where he shined at both running back and linebacker. He brings plenty of size and strength at 6-foot-1 215-pounds and tackles as well as any defender in the Athens area. He runs well, he competes, and is coming off an incredibly productive 2024 season where he made 152 tackles, 14 TFLs and three fumble recoveries. He’s bound for a massive junior season and is currently ranked as the No. 3 LB and the No. 28 overall prospect in the state.

One of the top two-way players across the state in the 2027 class. Brown is a tough, gritty linebacker and running back for the mighty Jefferson Dragons. Ranked as the No. 3 LB prospect in the state, Brown made an impressive 152 tackles, 14 TFLs, two sacks, and three fumble recoveries. He has a nose for the football, is fundamentally sound when tackling, and earned a new offer over the weekend from the in-state Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

. I have been around camps and watched Brown separate himself in drills and obviously on the gridiron during games. His change of direction is impressive at the LB spot. He’s a sought-after player who is going to have a huge year this upcoming season.

Brown is a natural at the LB sport. He has good size (6’1 215), strength, athleticism (36.7 VJ), and football genes to be one of the top LB recruits in the nation in the 2027 class. He recorded 152 tackles with 14 tackles for loss this past Fall in helping lead the Dragons to the State Title game. Brown was a stud in the postseason recording 63 tackles and 5 TFL in Jefferson’s 5 playoff games. A hard hitting LB with great vision and anticipation that has good upside at the college level.
Outlook
Already a National Recruit with Tennessee, Georgia State, and most recently Purdue extending an offer. A top 10 2027 prospect in Georgia.
