Sean Brown stands 6-foot-5 and weights in around 250 pounds. And the 2019 three-star tight end, committed to Tennessee since May, isn’t done growing.
“I’m about average size in my family,” Brown told GoVols247 on Thursday, “so it’s looking good.”
Where he could end up, though, is anyone’s guess. Including his head coach, Todd Wheeler, at Coosa High School in Rome, Ga.
“I could see him being an athletic left tackle,” Wheeler said. “I could see him blowing up. When you look at him, his upper body, it’s still underdeveloped. Sometimes that comes with maturity. They hit a grow spurt. I could see him being a big tight end, a 260-, 270-pound tight end, things like that.
“I could see all that stuff happening,” he added. “It’s going to be fun watching him four years from now, seeing where he ends up.”
As he continues working at tight end, the mental game will have to progress as well.
“I think his option routes, adjusting his routes based on linebacker coverages, things of that nature,” Wheeler said, “he's still growing and learning there. Blocking, he does a good job with his blocking.”
“He’s been a tight end because he can catch,” Wheeler said. “Has great hands, big hands. He’s always been able to catch the football. We always kept him there because he just fit the stuff that we did.”
“They’re getting a home grown, country kid,” Wheeler said. “That’s what you’re getting with him. Sean, he has a boyish mentality. His intensity is growing as a player, but he’s still just a great kid, an all-around American kid.
“No problem kid at all. He’s just a kid all the way around.”
