Brown appeared in all 12 games with 11 starts in his first season as a Boilermaker last year after transferring from Ole Miss. He recorded 45 tackles, including 32 solo and three tackles-for-loss, to go along with a team-high two forced fumbles.



As a member of the Class of 2021, Brown was a four-star recruit out of Bradenton (Fla.) <a href="https://www.on3.com/high-school/img-academy-10624/">IMG Academy</a>, <a href="https://www.on3.com/news/on3-industry-ratings-rankings/">according to the On3 Industry Ranking</a>, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 38 overall prospect in the state, the No. 23 cornerback in the class and the No. 273 overall prospect in the class.
