Going into the 2020 football season, LonghornsWire will be looking at each scholarship player listed on the Texas roster.
Over the summer, each profile will cover where the player is from, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for Tom Herman this season.
Today, we will be looking at redshirt senior safety Chris Brown.
Chris Brown, Safety
Height: 5-11 / Weight: 190
Class: Redshirt Senior
Hometown: Houston, Texas
High School: Elsik
HS ranking (247Sports): Three-star / No. 48 position / No. 93 in-state
HS ranking (Rivals): Three-star
Analysis: Part of a stacked group in the secondary, senior Chris Brown is going to be a key returning starter for the Longhorns. Playing and starting in 10 games last season, Brown will bring experience to the table for Chris Ash.
Only a three-star prospect coming out of high school, Brown’s role has developed throughout his four years on campus. His redshirt freshman and sophomore seasons, he was a special teams player. Starting last year, his role in the defense grew.
A unit that already has Caden Sterns and B.J. Foster, Brown will have some competition for playing time once again. If all three can remain healthy, the safety position will be set in 2020.
