ECU head coach Scottie Montgomery verified that Brown won’t play this season but would still remain on the roster. He will still be permitted to practice with the Pirates, as long as he still remains a full-time student at the university.
“I promised him that we were going to do everything we can to make sure he’s educated and get him ready for next year,” Montgomery said. “We’ve got his back. I love him.”
Brown was the projected starter at the “Z” outside receiver position. Brown has played in 17 career games with 55 career receptions for 760 yards and eight touchdowns.
