Article 243: Brown looking to go Downtown

August 16, 2011

St. Mary's Stockton had an impressive 11-2 season in the previous year. For the Rams to have a successful upcoming season, they will need a big season from 2012 athlete prospect, Marcus Brown.

At 6-foot-1 and 224 pounds, Brown can run 4.51 seconds in the 40-yard dash, has a shuttle time of 4.35 seconds, and can bench press 230 pounds. Brown chipped in with 36 tackles, 1 interception, and three rushing touchdowns. Brown's efforts helped the Rams go undefeated in the Tri-City League but lost to Grant in the third round of the playoffs.

St. Mary's Coach Tony Franks says, "Marcus' strengths are his versatility, motor, and intensity. He plays very hard on every play on the field. Off the field, he is a real gentleman and is considerate of others and hard working. He would be a top player at the NCAA level. Any coach would be fortunate to have Marcus on their team."

Brown is versatile enough that he can play wide receiver, tight end, and running back on the offensive side while he is a linebacker and defensive end on defensive. Brown would be open to playing tight end or linebacker on the college level. As of now, Brown has been in contact with Colorado, Louisiana Tech, Oregon State, San Jose State, Washington, Washington State, and Weber State.

Brown would like to major in Sports Medicine in college. He wants to attend a college program that would give him the opportunity to start. Brown is open to any college from a geographic perspective.

Brown played many minutes last season but this upcoming season will be his first year starting. During the offseason, he is working on his foot work as Brown has been playing for close to nine years. Brown also plays on the basketball team after the football season.

His teammates call him Downtown Brown while he also has a unique style of running, pigeon-toed. His individual goal for his senior year is to get a scholarship while his team goal is to win state. Watch for Brown to go downtown in Stockton, California during this upcoming season.
