Howard Brown brings developmental upside to Missouri’s defensive interior
Brown is a senior defensive lineman on Missouri’s roster, and the strongest public scouting note on him is his **quickness, footwork, and pursuit effort**—traits that help a nose tackle stay disruptive even without eye-popping stats. His profile suggests a player who can chase plays down and hold up with athletic effort more than pure size-driven dominance, which makes him intriguing as a fit for a defense that values movement and motor. Public college stats for him are limited, so his value is better judged by role, technique, and consistency than by box-score production.
