An offer went out on Wednesday to Kevin Brown, an offensive tackle prospect from Pennsylvania.
Brown is a 16-year-old athlete who is coming off an impressive season for Harrisburg (Harrisburg, Pennsylvania). The class of 2026 recruit already checks in at 6-foot-5 and 230 pounds.
This past fall, he was named to Pennsylvania’s 6A All-State football team.
Rutgers is the fifth Power Five program to offer Brown, who also holds offers from Penn State, Pittsburgh, Syracuse and West Virginia.
His impressive frame along with good movement and agility are a reason why Brown is already racking up significant offers. According to 247Sports, Brown is a four-star offensive tackle who is the No. 91 recruit in the nation in his class.
He is ranked the third-best overall prospect in Pennsylvania in the 2026 class.
