Elijah Brown led Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei, the no. 1 team in the country, over then, no. 3 team in the country, Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco, 42-21 last Friday.

Brown was 13-for-18 for 263 yards and five touchdowns in the game. After that performance, USC offered over the weekend, and Ole Miss extended an offer Tuesday.

The Rebels will host the 6-foot-2, 180-pound sophomore in Oxford this weekend. He will see Ole Miss host Arkansas, and he is looking forward to it.

“I have heard about the fans in the SEC, so I am excited about this visit,” Brown said. “I want to get down there and see the campus, look around the school, and just enjoy the experience.”

Lane Kiffin’s starting quarterback is Matt Corral, a former star at Long Beach (Calif.) Long Beach Poly. Brown is looking forward to seeing him play in person.

“I am a big fan of his. I have been watching him and trying to take some of his game and put it into mine.

“He is a great quarterback and I like the offense they run. They run a lot of great plays, and Corral does a lot of good things. I will have my eye on him.”

Brown also has offers from Arizona, Pittsburgh, and Utah. He has attended games at UCLA and Utah this season. The visit this weekend to SEC Country has him excited.

“I just want to see what it’s like and explore Ole Miss,” Brown said. “I know a little about them, but I want to learn a lot more this weekend.”

USC is the school Brown grew up a fan of, so the Trojan offer over the weekend meant a lot. He is now waiting to see who the next head coach is.
