He was named the Georgia 5A Defensive Player of the Year and earned first-team MaxPreps Junior All-American honors last season. Brown finished his junior season with 113 total tackles, 1,700 yards of total offense and 24 total touchdowns.

Brown is a three-time MaxPreps High School All-American selection. He also earned freshman and sophomore All-American honors during his first two seasons.

He has unofficially visited Tennessee four times over the past three years, including Sept. 24 when the Vols defeated Florida at Neyland Stadium.
