Brown on his decision to be a Bulldog

“It’s close to my home,” Brown said. “It’s only like 25-30 minutes away. It’s close for my mom, so she can come to see me whenever. The atmosphere and the love at Georgia was different. They love the sports there so I like that. The relationship that me and the coaching staff have…we’re best friends. We laugh and joke and stuff like that.”

Brown says he grew up a Georgia fan. Before moving to Newton, Brown attended Morgan County High School, home of the Bulldogs. In a couple of years, Marquavious Brown will once again be a Bulldog.

What does Marquavious Brown bring to Georgia? “I’d say energy, defense, and I can push them to be a better team and help the team bond.”
