Sam Brown brings veteran edge and steady trench leadership to Idaho’s defensive front
In the 2024 season, Sam Brown posted 18 total tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, 1 sack, a pass breakup, a quarterback hit, and a forced fumble, while Idaho credited him with 14 starts and leadership on a stout defensive line. He entered the 2025 season as a redshirt senior and one of the Vandals’ rotating captains, with coaches and local coverage highlighting his consistency, toughness, and locker-room presence. He’s the kind of dependable, high-motor DL who fits a team that wants experienced, physical, team-first trench play.
