The ‘25 RB had a memorable junior season in his own way. With Palm Beach County’s unanimous No. 1-ranked team across all local media outlets – mainstream and independent – Brown posted the following statistics in 11 games played:

•995 total yards

•15 total touchdowns

Brown’s best individual game was in Week 4 against Catholic Memorial (Mass.) – a 35-2 home win for Cardinal Newman (9-2 final record; reached Class 1M-Region 3 title game).

Here are his statistics from that one:

•16 carries

•164 yards

•1 touchdown

Brown on his junior campaign at Cardinal Newman:

“My main takeaway from my junior season is this: Stay humble, your time will come. Keep your head down and keep working,” the 5-foot-11, 185-pound running back said.

At this time, the Pahokee native has earned the following college scholarship offers:

•Kentucky

•Pitt

•NC State

•Minnesota

•Georgia Tech

•Boston College

•West Virginia

•Liberty

•Tulane

•Appalachian State

•Western Kentucky

•Western Michigan

•UNC Charlotte

•James Madison

•Georgia Southern

•UMass

Brown has 16 total offers to date. And with that, he revealed his official recruiting status.

“I don’t have any top schools right now,” said Brown, who made it clear that all schools are in the mix.

For the offseason, Brown has been working hard at improving his overall craft by participating with the Public Enemy 7-on-7 team and running track with Cardinal Newman.

With that being said, Brown’s Pahokee roots serve as a true inspiration for him to give it everything he has on the gridiron and beyond.

“My dad lives there and I grew up there,” Brown said. “Everywhere I go, I make my presence known. And as you know, the Muck is known for their speed, so I make sure I outwork everybody.”

Brown will have one more high school football season to go at Cardinal Newman. He is hungry for more success over these next several months ahead.

“I plan on getting bigger and faster,” Brown said. “My team goals are to get our chemistry good as soon as possible and go to states like we always planned.”
