Brown arrived at USC in 2014, started his last two seasons (2017-18) and was an honorable mention All-Pac-12 after his junior year. After being indefinite, Brown signed as a free agent with the Los Angeles Chargers and eventually played five games for the DC Defenders in the XFL. He was also a perfect musician.
Brown’s death comes less than a year after former USC center Max Tuerk died at the age of 26 from an enlarged heart.
