Bryce Brown (born May 14, 1991(1991-05-14) in Wichita, Kansas) is an American football running back at the University of Tennessee. While playing at Wichita High School East, he won the 2008 Hall Trophy for the best high school player in the United States and was ranked atop of the Rivals.com ranking of his class, the first running back to do so since Adrian Peterson in 2004.[1] He was also dubbed the best running back prospect of the last five years.[2] Rivals.com's Barry Every compares Brown to Miami Dolphins player Ronnie Brown.[1] Contents [hide] 1 High school career 1.1 Recruiting 2 References 3 External links //

High school career

Brown has been clocked in the 40-yard dash at 4.32 seconds.[3] 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 amassed more than 50 scholarship offers. He wore #24 in his Freshman and Sophomore seasons.

During his junior year, Brown rushed for 1,825 yards on 207 carries (8.8 avg) and 23 touchdowns, earning him All-City and All-State honors. He wore #5 in his Junior year. He was also recognized as a member of the Kansas “Fab 11” and was the lone junior that was named a USA Today Prep All-American.[4] For his senior season, he wore #11 in honor of his brother, Arthur Brown.[5] Tom Lemming of CSTV considered Brown to be better than all of the 2008 running back crop (which includes Darrell Scott and Jermie Calhoun).[6] Brown is believed to be the top running back prospect from Kansas since Barry Sanders.[7]

Arthur Brown committed to the University of Miami in December 2007, which led to rumors whether Bryce may complete his high school in Coral Gables, Florida, since their mother once told USA Today that Bryce “is wanting to go to high school wherever Arthur chooses to go to college.”[8] Bryce Brown, however, eventually decided to remain in Wichita for his senior season.[9]

In October 2008, Brown was selected to the 2009 U.S. Army All-American Bowl.[10] Brown finished the 2008 season with a Wichita City League regular-season record 1,873 yards rushing, giving him 6,809 rushing yards overall, also a City League record.[11] He was named to the USA Today All-USA First Team for the second successive time.[12]
