2023 Rush/Rec Projections
Ends playing career
Brown indicated in December that he won't apply for a sixth season of eligibility from the NCAA, ending his college career, Jeremy Warner of 247Sports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown would have qualified for a medical redshirt after missing two full seasons with knee injuries, but he decided leading up to Illinois' Redbox Bowl loss to California that it was in his best interest to forgo a sixth year of college. The departure of Brown -- who ran for 584 yards and five touchdowns in 2019 -- and the graduation of Reggie Corbin leaves Mike Epstein (knee) as the top candidate to lead the Illini backfield this fall.
