Brown is the No. 15 overall prospect and No. 3 IOL in the 2027 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 3 player in Texas.

The 6-foot-3.5, 285-pounder joins a stacked recruiting class that’ll be tough to top in the Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings. He’s now the fourth five-star in the mix for head coach Mike Elko and Co., flanking safety Kamarui Dorsey, EDGE Zyron Forstall and cornerback Raylaun Henry.

Brown has been to College Station plenty of times throughout his recruitment. He’s been trending to A&M for some time and has now locked in with the in-state program.

“What plays like a really big part is the relationships,” Brown previously said of the Aggies when speaking with Rivals’ Sam Spiegelman. “I’ve always talked about relationships, and obviously, you shouldn’t go there for a coach, but I practically know everybody there. Relationships play a big part. Obviously, I’ve seen everything else and obviously, the academics … I like the way they are there.”
