A quick look at Brown's highlight reel shows you that this safety is not afraid of making a big play. He's got a fantastic burst of speed, he is able to read opposing offenses well, and he is more than willing to lay a big hit on his opponents. He should do well at the next level.
Arkansas now has 19 commitments for their 2017 class. Brown is their highest-rated commit, according to 247Sports.
