JB Brown brings veteran edge and backfield disruption to Kansas
In the 2024 season, JB Brown was one of Kansas’s defensive bright spots, posting a career-high 74 tackles and 5.0 sacks while starting all 12 games at linebacker. He’s a physical, downhill linebacker with proven playmaking traits—Kansas credited him with 9.5 tackles for loss and five quarterback hits in 2024—and he earned honorable mention All-Big 12 recognition. The bigger value: he plays with a hard-hitting, veteran presence and fits teams that want a tone-setter who can attack the line of scrimmage and finish plays.
