We’ve written a ton about Bridgeport DL Wes Brown Jr Wes Brown Jr 5'10" | 295 lbs | DL Bridgeport | 2025 State WV the past two years and rightfully so as one of the state’s best big men. He capped off an impressive high school career with a great senior season that finished with a state championship ring with possible accolades coming his way soon. We’ve consistently labeled Brown Jr as an FCS prospect even with some length concerns, and Mercyhurst extended him an opportunity last month. He’s a scholarship-level FCS prospect in our eyes still and would likely be an FBS-caliber player if he were a few inches taller. Still, Brown Jr is too explosive and powerful for college programs to overlook and is very much deserving of D1 offers.

He’s one of our favorite prospects in this class, and he is still being undervalued by college programs to date. Brown Jr remains an FCS-level talent in our eyes and those programs need to get on him ASAP. He’s a game wrecker as an interior defensive lineman which is a rare trait at that position in this state. Brown Jr is an explosive athlete and may just be the most powerful player in the state this season. He moves really well for his size and his quickness off the line is just as impressive as his strength and power.

We have a full breakdown of his game in our Unoffered 2025 Prospects Worthy of D1 Looks series and just recently picked up his first offer from D2 Wheeling University. The two-way star is the biggest name to know for the Indians for the 2024 season and will be in the running this season for the Huff and Stydahar Awards signifying the state’s top defensive player and top lineman. Brown Jr has a confident FCS grade from us and should end up at the D1 level before it’s all said and done but would be a huge steal if he lands at a D2 program.
