What 247Sports says
Speaking of Ole Miss, the Rebels don’t currently have a 2022 quarterback committed, which is a bit surprising given what Lane Kiffin has done with Heisman candidate Matt Corral this season. The trigger man Kiffin seems to want? That would be Devin Brown. The pro-style talent has been committed to USC since October of 2020, but is evaluating his options as the Trojans look to find the right individual to replace Clay Helton and make things fun in LA again. Brown was in Oxford earlier this month for an official visit.
In addition to Ole Miss’ interest, Texas and Ohio State are both fighting to get the Elite 11 finalist on campus. Notre Dame and BYU have also been in contact. Brown is currently in the middle of a senior season at Corner Canyon in Draper, Utah, where he’s averaging 355 yards passing and four touchdown tosses a game.
What Longhorns Wire says
Steve Sarkisian must know something is coming within the quarterback room before the start of next season. If Casey Thompson remains the starter, Hudson Card entering the transfer portal makes a lot of sense. That would only leave three scholarship QBs on the roster, two of which could be considered freshmen.
Devin Brown would be an instant upgrade and barring a commitment from Arch Manning or a transfer portal take, a candidate to be Texas’ future starting quarterback. The current USC commit is a top-five quarterback on the 247Sports composite. If Lane Kiffin and Ohio State are after him as well, you know he’s a good one.
Texas has been making moves in Utah in the 2022 cycle. Linebacker Lander Barton is a top target to join the class as well. If Sarkisian is able to sell his quarterback development, Brown could be in burnt orange by National Signing Day.
