USF’s rare dual-threat QB engine
Brown is a high-end dual-threat quarterback who, in 2025, became one of the rare FBS players to post a 3,000-yard passing and 1,000-yard rushing season, while also leading the nation in total offense and points responsible for per game[10]. He stands out for his explosive playmaking, downhill running ability, and strong arm, with EA Sports rating his speed, acceleration, agility, and break-sack ability especially highly[14]. The main fit question is durability: he missed time in 2024 after a lower-leg injury, but when healthy he profiles as a dynamic offense-lifter who can stress defenses both horizontally and vertically[8][10].
