Sammy Brown is a do-it-all athlete at Jefferson High School in Georgia. Along with his success on the football field as a running back and linebacker, Brown has garnered national headlines for his ability to pin opponents in wrestling in less than a minute, two state wrestling titles and his stellar track exploits in the 100- and 200-meter-dashes. Plus, his signature mullet is all the rage. On the football field, Brown was voted by the Georgia AAAAA Coaches as the 2022 Defensive Player of the Year after racking up 113 tackles as a junior. “There’s nothing that this kid can’t do,” Jefferson coach Travis Noland said. That seems to be right on the mark. Brown’s father, Mike, is also a high school football coach in Georgia.
