A two-year letterman in basketball and a three-year letterman in both football and track and field, Brown is the school record holder in both the triple and long jumps. He was a three-year selection as an All-District defensive back in football.

He was the Class 3A state runner-up in the long jump at the state track meet. Brown was also a member of the state qualifying 400 meter relay team (Jamil Garner, Bardrick Jones, and Ricky Harris) that set a school record with a 41.90.

Brown’s success landed him a spot on the track and field team at Odessa College. While at OC he finished fifth in the National Junior College Indoor Nationals and sixth in the Outdoor Nationals as a freshman. He jumped a career best 25’ 3” at the 1992 Abilene Christian University All-Comers Classic before transferring to ACU.
