TROY – Troy nose guard Shakel Brown is used to taking down running backs, but on Saturday he turned into one.
Brown returned a fumble 21 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter of the Trojans’ 36-34 loss to Georgia State on Saturday.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve scored a touchdown,” Brown said. “I used to play tight end in high school, so it’s been since high school – three years ago.”
On the fumble return, Brown was in the right spot when Will Choloh hit the Georgia State quarterback to force a loose ball that popped into Brown’s hands.
