Brown is no stranger to Rutgers, having been on campus on multiple occasions including in January. He was among many recruits who were on-campus for an event that included a campus tour, dinner with the coaching staff and taking in the men’s basketball team beating Ohio State.

Two Long Island players, wide receiver Dylan Braithwaite and safety Ian Strong, were a part of Rutgers’ 2023 recruiting class. During his visit last month, Brown got to talk with Braithwaite and Strong about being freshmen on the football team.
“It was great!” Brown told Rutgers Wire following that visit in January. “I got to see my twin Dylan and my good friend Ian Strong. The basketball game was very electric.”
