USF’s Dual-Threat Engine and a Big-Matchup Problem for Defenses
Byrum Brown is the kind of quarterback who forces game plans to bend around him: USF says he posted a 3,000-yard passing, 1,000-yard rushing season in 2025 and even ripped off a seven-game stretch of 200+ passing yards, 80+ rushing yards, and a rushing TD in every game, the longest such FBS run in 30 years.[3] He also earned Maxwell Award watch-list attention and has shown he can win with both efficiency and explosiveness, making him a fit for teams that want a high-upside, physical, playmaking QB who can stress defenses vertically and on the ground.[2][3]
