Biography:
A defensive tackle from Waller, Texas, he is 6-2, 265 pounds and lightning quick. He ran the 100 meters for Waller in a track meet this spring. He also plays baseball and is the designated runner and has stolen a number of bases this season. Most sources list Brown as a 4.6 in the 40-yard dash, but he recently clocked in at 4.53.

Supposedly SMU and Baylor have offered. Nebraska, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech allegedly are interested.

Sounds like a carbon copy of Adrian Haywood. Hope he plays the same way - and ends up at SMU, of course.

That guy's a physical freak with that size and speed. Wonder if he can play?

Rivals rates 3 stars, 5.5 and says that Tech, Arkansas, Houston, Minnesota, Ole Miss, Nebraska, and OSU have offered. There is no listing of SMU or Baylor on the Bio. :oops:

Damn...another conspiracy against SMU recruiting.

he's citing Scout not Rivals. I don't know but often Scout is pretty outdated. I checked on Rivals-they have over 20 reports on Brown. I decided to check the last 5 updates-and on the 5th oldest update about 3 months ago he did mention SMU positively among a top 5 or so but hasn't reported SMU on later reports. And I'd rather have a fit 265 pound defensive lineman over a tub of lard 330 pound defensive lineman any day. Weight is overrated. He will be big enough once he gets on a weight lifting program. Fat is bad. Fat makes you slow.
