Young, physical Western Carolina CB with upside and a real recruiting pedigree
In the 2025 season, Devin Brown played in four games as a true freshman for Western Carolina, logging two solo tackles while preserving redshirt eligibility, and he enters 2026 as a sophomore cornerback with a 5-10, 160-pound frame and a three-star recruiting background from Miami Northwestern’s 2024 state-title secondary[1][13][14]. He looks like a classic developmental cover guy: compact, competitive, and battle-tested early, with room to add strength and polish, so he makes sense for a team that values upside, urgency, and special-teams-ready toughness rather than instant star power[1][13].
