Austin Brown is a rising, NFL-tested Wisconsin safety with starter-level toughness
Brown’s 2025 season for Wisconsin showed a dependable full-time starter who finished with 52 tackles, one tackle for loss, and three pass breakups, while also flashing special-teams and run-support value; Pro Football Focus graded him as a solid coverage defender, and Wisconsin coaches have pointed to NFL traits in his game. His standout differentiators are physicality, range, and versatility—he moved well enough to test well at Pro Day and has shown he can handle multiple alignments, but his biggest appeal is that he brings high-effort, low-drama reliability more than gaudy takeaway numbers.
