“I’m scheduled to visit UCLA on January 6,” Brown said. “I also heard from Virginia, Duke, Arizona, Illinois, Nebraska, Washington State, Iowa, Cincinnati, Wake Forest and Wisconsin.
“I’m trying to schedule another visit before going to UCLA and would like to go at least 2-3 more times if I can. I’m excited about UCLA though

He’s a true plug-and-play receiver who should be able to step in and contribute immediately.
“Coming out of high school, I was confident in my abilities and believed I could put myself in a position like this,” Brown said. “At the same time, this moment feels less like something I expected or envisioned and more like the result of being patient and continuing to work hard throughout this process, so I’m super excited.”
