My son once played in a soccer tournament in Greeneville and also, attended a soccer camp there at Furman. So, I have been to Greeneville and I did enjoy my weekend there. Actually, Greeneville kinda reminded me of Knoxville, a little and that's good thing, imo. Home of BI-LO grocery stores, iIrc.

He's definitely playing RB and I'm betting he's gonna be our #2 behind Gray next season. Brown and Gray will make a great duo in '21, with each getting close to equal touch's. Like 55/45 or something close to that. Then Brown starts after Eric is gone. Very excited about Brown and think he becomes a beast for us running the ball. JMO

I hope Dee gets better quick. Want to see what he can do also. We need a big back this year, hope hodge can be it. Want crouch to focus on LB duties to get better there.

This kid has a Mark Ingram type feel to him. Wasn’t Ingram a 3-star, kind of slower prospect coming out of HS but he was big and could break tackles?

Ingram may be a good comparison. It seems to me that the scouting report on Brown is that he's a big RB and fast enough to play RB in the SEC but he isn't a burner that will just outrun people. His characteristics that get the most praise, in addition to his size, are his balance, his ability to shed/break tackles (partially due to size and partially due to his balance), and feel for the position. It remains to be seen if he can do that at the SEC-level and if his characteristics will translate, but I think many of our fans underestimate how important balance is for a RB. Kamara, for example, is not a burner (although he's likely much faster than Brown) but he has elite balance and so he breaks tackles despite not being a huge RB and he's one of the best RBs in the NFL. So, no clue what Brown will do at UT but I know I am excited he's a Vol.

Ingram was listed at 5-10, 195 coming out of HS. Even now, as a 10th year pro, he is listed at 215 lbs. Brown is already listed at 6-0, 227 lbs. Just based on size at the same age, I'd guess Brown plays a little more physically. Interestingly, Ingram was actually listed as an "athlete" coming out of HS instead of solely as a RB. Guessing he could have fit in at a couple positions.

Brown reminds me more of a modern day LenDale White, or for a more recent comparison, Zach Charbonnet of Michigan.

That’s interesting I didn’t realize Ingram was that small out of HS.

LenDale White seems like a good comparison.
