Akron’s Chase Brown brings size, experience, and steady edge pressure
Chase Brown is a 2025 redshirt junior defensive end at Akron listed at 6-2, 245, and he arrives with proven production from Dayton, where in 2022-24 he appeared in 25 games, posted 44 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, and even returned a fumble 32 yards for a touchdown in 2023. That track record suggests a player who plays hard, does the dirty work, and flashes disruptive upside rather than just chase-the-box-score flash. He looks like a solid fit for a team that wants a sturdy, experienced edge presence with special-teams value and a bit of playmaking juice.
