College career edit

Boston College edit

Brown redshirted his true freshman season at Boston College. The next year, Brown became the second freshman in school history to start a season opener and completed 134 of 258 passes for 1,367 yards and 11 touchdowns with nine interceptions before he suffered a season-ending knee injury.[4] He started all 12 of the Eagles' games and completed 158 of 285 pass attempt for 2,121 yards with 20 touchdowns and nine interceptions in his redshirt sophomore season.[5] As a redshirt junior, Brown completed 81-of-137 passes for 1,250 yards with nine touchdowns and two interceptions before suffering a season-ending knee injury six games into the season.[6] After the firing of head coach Steve Addazio at the end of the season, Brown announced that he would be leaving Boston College with the intention of playing elsewhere as a graduate transfer.[7] He committed to transfer to Oregon over Georgia, Mississippi State, Colorado, Michigan State, Vanderbilt, South Florida, and Northern Illinois.[8][9][10]

Oregon edit

Brown began his first season at Oregon as the backup to starter Tyler Shough. He made his first appearance for the Ducks in the 2020 Pac-12 Football Championship Game, where he played mostly in goal line situations and completed three of four pass attempts for 17 yards and two touchdowns as Oregon won 31–24 over the USC Trojans.[11] Brown replaced Shough in the second quarter of the 2021 Fiesta Bowl against Iowa State and finished the game with 12-for-19 for 147 yards and two rushing touchdowns in a 34–17 loss. After the season, Brown opted to utilize the extra year of eligibility granted to college athletes who played in the 2020 season due to the coronavirus pandemic.[12]

Brown was named the Ducks' starting quarterback going into the 2021 season after Shough had transferred to Texas Tech following the 2020 season.[13][14] He started all 14 of Oregon's games and completed 64.1% of his passes for a Pac-12 Conference-leading 2,989 yards with 18 touchdown passes and seven interceptions and also rushed 151 times for 658 yards and nine touchdowns.[15]
