proven Purdue starter with a ballhawking, physical edge
Brown has been a dependable Purdue DB with 15 starts across 16 appearances in his first two seasons, and in 2024 he played four games and recorded nine tackles. His profile is built more on consistency, physicality, and position versatility than splashy turnover numbers: Purdue listed 54 tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss, 1.0 sack, nine pass breakups, and two forced fumbles over his first two seasons. The biggest “why care” factor is starter-level experience and disruptive traits; the main fit question is availability and role stability after reported team-dismissal controversy in 2024.
