Bryce Brown (born May 14, 1991 in Wichita, Kansas) is an American football running back at Wichita High School East. Brown is considered the top football prospect of the 2009 high school class (alongside Matt Barkley of Mater Dei (Cal.)) by most recruiting analysts.[1] Tom Lemming of CSTV considers Brown to be better than all of the 2008 running back crop (which includes Darrell Scott and Jermie Calhoun).[2] Brown is believed to be the top running back prospect from Kansas since Barry Sanders.[3]
Brown runs the 40-yard dash in 4.32 seconds. A First Team All-Wichita selection as a freshman, he rushed for 1,472 yards and 12 TDs. He followed that up with an even more impressive sophomore campaign, rushing for 2,039 yards and 26 TDs. Brown was a consensus First Team All-State selection as well as EA Sports National Sophomore of the Year. He already amassed 50 scholarship offers.
His older brother Arthur is considered the top linebacker prospect since Ernie Sims. However, some analyst believe Bryce to be the even better prospect.[4]
Arthur Brown committed to the University of Miami in December 2007, which may cause Bryce to attend high school in Miami, since their mother told USA Today that Bryce “is wanting to go to high school wherever Arthur chooses to go to college.”[5] Bryce Brown, however, eventually decided to remain in Wichita for his senior season.[6]
On February 22, 2008, Brown chose to follow his brother and committed to the University of Miami.[7]
