EnrolledAs a College Recruit
One of the more live-armed passers in the 2022 cycle. Generates considerable zip on the ball with the ability to drive throws downfield and from the far hash to the boundary. The ball pops out of his hand and comes in hot. Stretches the field vertically with his considerable arm strength. May have the most high-level, small window throws of any 2022 quarterback as a senior. At his best when he can sit back in the pocket and push the ball vertically. Has light feet with average to above average mobility. Transferred from the Phoenix area to Utah powerhouse Corner Canyon for his senior season. Is putting up big passing numbers as a senior. Has a bit of a gunslinger mentality, leading to a higher interception total. Can miss read defenders, leading to picks. Showing some more rushing ability in the red zone as a senior. Put forth a strong showing at the Elite 11 Finals prior to his senior season.
Like Derek Carr, Devin Brown has a quick release, live downfield arm and the ability to throw with touch to multiple levels. They have similar throwing motions and primarily deliver from a consistent arm slot. Both were similar sizes as seniors in high school, at around 6-foot-2.5 and around 195 pounds. Brown does have a significantly larger hand (10 inches) than Carr (9 1/8 inches). They’re also good athletes for the position with bouncy feet in the pocket. Brown and Carr also have similar developmental paths in high school. Both showed off their arm talent while not putting up gaudy numbers at their first high school stop (Brown at Shadow Creek in Arizona and Carr at Fort Bend Clements in Texas). Both transferred to a high school in another state for their senior seasons and put up big passing numbers.

Devin Brown accounts for six touchdowns in state quarterfinals
Devin Brown had one of his best games of the season, completing 27 of 36 passes for 347 yards and five touchdowns along with another rushing score in a quarterfinal win. Brown is one of the top arm talents in the 2022 cycle in our opinion and continued to look worthy of that praise on Friday. The top 100 prospect has considerable velocity on his throws and is capable of ripping the football into small windows downfield.
