The Johnson City, Illinois, native has starred the last few seasons at both quarterback and safety for Johnston City High School. He is the No. 6-ranked player in the state of Illinois and No. 21-ranked safety in the country according to 247Sports.
Brown is joining a talented Wisconsin recruiting class that has added cornerbacks Avyonne Jones and A’Khoury Lyde in the last few weeks. Although it should be noted that Brown is the first safety commit in Wisconsin’s class of 2022.
