Nolan Brown is a hometown talent who played his high school ball just a few miles up the road at Colleyville Heritage High School in Colleyville, TX. He went the junior college route out of high school and ended up at Blinn College, not far from College Station. He earned NJCAA third-team All-American honors as a sophomore, hitting .411 with a .478 on-base percentage.
He was likely on TCU’s radar long before his time at Blinn due to his success in high school, but it seems his performance in junior college earned him a spot on the Frog’s roster.
