Excellent news. As a redshirt sophomore in 2017, Brown played in 12 games, totaling 38 tackles, two tackles for loss and one pass deflection on the season. His biggest performance came in the road win at South Carolina, when he made six tackles and one big stop for a loss while filling in for the injured Jordan Jones.
