Former Texas Longhorns running back Derrian Brown hasn’t given up his hopes of returning to football a little more than four years after suffering a stroke, entering the NCAA transfer portal as a graduate transfer on Tuesday, according to multiple reports, including Inside Texas.
The 5’11, 188-pounder from Buford (Ga.) was a consensus four-star prospect in the 2019 recruiting class, committing to Texas during an official visit in September 2018 over nearly 30 other offers after Brown racked up 642 yards and nine touchdowns as a sophomore and 844 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on nearly nine yards per carry as a junior despite playing behind running backs who signed with Florida State and Michigan, respectively.
