Arizona football: Brown impresses; plus notes and quotes

Each year, a couple true freshmen manage to impress the Arizona coaching staff during the first few practices.

Two years ago, it was Nate Phillips and Scooby Wright drawing praise from Rich Rodriguez as two players who could make an instant impact.

Last year, Nick Wilson was an early standout and it was obvious he was going to contribute right away.

This year — though it's been just two days — Shun Brown seems to be the hot name as this year's freshmen standout.

Brown, from Shreveport, Louisiana, played both cornerback and wide receiver in high school.
