Taye Brown is Arizona’s tone-setting, all-around linebacker
In the 2025 season, Taye Brown started all 13 games for Arizona, finished with 93 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and an interception, and earned Third Team All-Big 12 honors; he also posted a 75.9 defensive grade and an 87.1 run-defense grade on 752 snaps. He stands out for consistency, downhill run stopping, and a nose for disruptive plays, plus he’s a homegrown Arizona defender who plays with the kind of urgency coaches love. If you want a linebacker who brings production, steadiness, and edge, Brown looks like a very good fit.
