Browns announcement comes just after another Blue Chip kicker Quinn Nordin recently decommited from Penn State and took an official visit to USC over the weekend. Nordin was deciding between Michigan and USC, but Brown's announcement today may have an impact on Nordin's decision. Quinn Nordin will announce his decision Wednesday morning at 11am.

The Chris Sailer Kicking Academy had to this to say in their report on Brown:

". . . A great athlete with one of the strongest legs in the nation. Field goals are excellent off the ground. Kickoffs are near the top of his class. . . . Does well under pressure. Has all the tools to dominate at the next level."

The USC Trojans also have kickers Alex Wood, Matt Boermeester and Wyatt Schmidt on the depth chart.
