A four-star recruit out of Harrisburg High School, Brown committed to Penn State in July of 2024. Brown ending up as a Mountaineer brings his football journey full circle for his family. His dad played for Rich Rodriguez during his first WVU tenure.

For an historical context, Brown now becomes WVU football’s highest rated national recruit since Noel Devine.

But beyond the legacy connection, West Virginia pursuing Brown so hards makes sense on the field above all else.

As a prospect, Brown is rated as the No. 2 in Pennsylvania in his class via 247 Sports’ Composite Rankings and a top 10 offensive tackle in the country.

Brown also visited Ohio State and had offers from major brands like Alabama, Auburn, Boston College, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, Notre Dame, Pitt, Syracuse, Tennessee, Wisconsin among others.
