Lanier right up road from me . Have heard a lot about him but hasn’t really taken off in recruiting world . He won same defensive award his brother won back in the day . Either region defensive player of year or classification.(can’t remember) Wonder if this is a move to get Derrick to stick around another year. Or could be one of those diamonds in the rough.

Auburn Kev 1,653 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) Quote Kameron Brown, younger brother to AU star, gets Tigers offer By Keith Niebuhr Kameron Brown. (Photo: Rusty Mansell, 247Sports) For Kameron Brown, the waiting has been the hardest part. As a senior linebacker for Sugar Hill (Ga.) Lanier, he recorded 205 tackles -- 149 solo -- in 2018. For his efforts, he was named Gwinnett Daily Post Defensive Player of the Year. Yet, despite his play, the major colleges hadn't come calling. That is, until Friday night. In a surprising development, Auburn offered the unrated senior. "I'm excited," Brown told Auburn Undercover. "I was real excited. The thing about getting an offer like this is, it's an honor." Brown wasn't the only member of his family thrilled by this news. His older brother is star Tigers defensive tackle Derrick Brown. "He was like, 'It's about time,' " Kameron Brown said. For months, Derrick Brown has stumped on Twitter for colleges to take a look at his brother. Finally, it was the Tigers who bit. The offer came directly from Auburn coach Gus Malzahn during a Friday night phone call. "He was talking about measurables and how he was a high school coach and he knew they weren't everything," Brown said. "And he said, 'The chance will be given.'" For Brown, who said he is 6-feet, 228 pounds, this was offer No. 6. Before Friday, FCS Gardner Webb probably was his leader. But now things have changed in a big way and he plans to officially visit Auburn soon. "I will consider (Auburn) strongly," Brown said. "With (Auburn All-SEC linebacker) Deshaun Davis, I'm like two inches taller than him and I weigh the same. " Why haven't more schools pursued Brown? "It's because of my height basically," he said. "And my measurables. They don't think I can move as well as some of the other kids but I'll show them." Auburn has one linebacker signed and that is 5-star early enrollee Owen Pappoe. The Tigers would like to sign two more. Meantime, Brown's older brother has himself a big decision to make. After three years at Auburn, he could leave early for the NFL (most think he's a first-rounder). But might he be tempted to stay -- and could a chance to play one season with his younger brother weigh into his decision? "We'll see," Kameron Brown said. "He still has time to declare."

im4au 44 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Kameron Brown's recruitment is going to be fun. I'm wondering how he could be the county defensive player of the year in Gwinnett County according to a newspaper, and yet not even be a rated prospect. Over 900,000 people live in Gwinnett County, so a lot of football players live there. If you watch his HUDL you'll see speed isn't his problem. Some say he's another Williams - Auburn's attention and his films are going to blow him up. We'll see. At any rate I hope Derrick sticks around to play a year with his brother, like the Carlsons. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment is a blending of the quote you saw and premium content that I can't quote. It's a post by a paid analyst on a message board that says his status (as someone with smaller offers) "will change" - not "may", but "will".. You'll find it. That's why I said this is going to be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sizzle 3,948 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 They probably offered him to keep Derrick for one more year. But I personally like what I seen from his film. I like the way he tackles, he's physical and hustles. I see some project him as an HB, but I wouldn't count him out as a late bloomer on the LB corps down the line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Someone mentioned H back ...maybe fullback ? I could see that with Cox graduating. Back in the day, coaches used to turn FBs into LBs....maybe a reverse of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) His HUDL highlights make him look like a dadgum 4 star. Yes, they’re highlights, but he’s got great closing speed, and reads plays pretty well. I like it. edit: he’ll be a 3* soon enough Edited January 5, 2019 by tigerbrotha12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the country at this point (maybe excluding CA or NY). I graduated from Central Gwinnett (c/o '90) and there were quite a few schools in Gwinnett, even back then. The number of schools has exploded since then. Edited January 5, 2019 by AUsince72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
