Jihad Brown brings proven ball-hawking upside to Norfolk State’s secondary
In the 2026 season, Jihad Brown enters Norfolk State as a 6-foot, 180-pound junior cornerback with real production behind him: he logged 34 tackles, 5 tackles for loss, 2 fumble recoveries, 1 forced fumble, and 1 interception in 10 games at Anna Maria College before transferring[1][2]. He also showed playmaking pop with a season-high 10 tackles and a forced fumble plus recovery in one game, which hints at a defender who doesn’t just cover—he finishes plays[1]. For a team looking for an active, physical CB who can help in run support and create turnovers, Brown looks like a strong fit[1][2].
