Top 100 WR Jalen Brown signs with LSU
It’s official.
Florida four-star wide receiver Jalen Brown has put pen to paper and signed with the LSU Tigers on the morning of the Early Signing Period.
The Tigers beat out a double-digit offer list for Brown, who is ranked by the On3 Consensus as the No. 15 wide receiver in the country and No. 92 overall prospect in the 2023 class.
Despite buzz that others were trying to flip Brown away from the Tigers, the four-star prospect buckled in and didn’t waver on his pledge.
As a senior at Gulliver Prep, Brown played in six games and logged 22 catches, 401 yards and three touchdowns. Brown was injured for two games as a senior and had two other games cancelled. For his career, he caught 111 passes for 2,396 yards and 25 touchdowns.
On3 Scouting Summary
“Big play wide receiver who is one of the top deep threats in the 2023 cycle. Shows the ability to consistently separate and win on vertical routes. Transfers his sub 10.7 second speed in the 100 meters over to the football field. A smooth, fluid mover who shows signs of changing speeds mid-route. Also shows the ability to track and locate the ball over his shoulder. Makes some grabs with his arms extended. Productive as a junior with over 1,000 yards, 11 touchdowns while averaging over 18 yards per catch. Needs to continue adding to his route tree as he mainly wins on vertical routes to this point.”
On3 Player Comparison
Will Fuller: Round 1, Pick 21 in NFL Draft
“Jalen Brown reminds us of Will Fuller due to his similar size, build and skill set at the same stage. Like Fuller, Brown is a thinner receiver with the ability to take the top off defenses with his top end speed. Both have similar movement patterns and ability after the catch as well. Brown has more verified track times than Fuller as a high school prospect.”
More on Jalen Brown
Jalen Brown tags a lot of his social media posts with #iamspeed, and it’s a fitting tag for one of the fastest receivers in the country. Brown was a regional champion in track, and he was timed at 10.86 seconds in the 100-meter dash and 21.83 seconds in the 200 meters at the 2021 FHSAA state track and field series. But Brown prides himself on being more than fast. “I work hard every day on my craft to improve my routes and my footwork and trying to become more versatile. I am a complete receiver.” The hard work has paid off. Brown was named a second-team MaxPreps Junior All-American in 2021 after racking up more than 1,000 yards receiving and 11 touchdowns. – On3
