PULLMAN – Nine games played. One start. A few bone-jarring hits along the way.
In many respects, Travion Brown’s first four months on the Palouse have gone exactly as the true freshman linebacker has planned. Probably better in some cases.
“It was everything I thought it would be,” Brown said. “Coming in learning the playbook, thick playbook. Being able to contribute any way that you can. Just being humble and taking everything that you can from your teammates that they teach you.
“It’s been a great experience.”
It also says something about Brown, and how Washington State coaches regard him, that the first-year rookie was rolled out to speak with reporters following the Cougars’ practice in Pullman Tuesday evening.
