Bryce Brown
Bryce Lee Brown (born May 14, 1991) is an American former professional football player who was a running back for the Philadelphia Eagles, Buffalo Bills, and Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Tennessee Volunteers as a freshman before transferring to the Kansas State Wildcats after head coach Lane Kiffin left Tennessee for USC. Later that year, Volunteers coach Derek Dooley declined to release Brown from his scholarship, resulting in Brown sitting out the 2010 season at Kansas State due to NCAA transfer rules. Brown left the Kansas State football team early in the 2011 season to enter the 2012 NFL draft. In April 2012, Brown was selected in the seventh round by the Philadelphia Eagles.
While playing at Wichita East High School, 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. In 2008, he was also dubbed the best high school running back prospect of the last five years. In 2008, Rivals.com analyst Barry Every compared Brown to NFL running back Ronnie Brown.
A first-team All-City league selection as a freshman, he rushed for 1,472 yards and 12 touchdowns. 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.
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. In fact, Tom Lemming of CSTV considered Brown to be better than all of the senior running backs in the 2008 class (which included Darrell Scott, Ryan Williams, and Cyrus Gray). Brown was believed to be the top running back prospect from Kansas since Barry Sanders.
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.” Bryce Brown, however, eventually decided to remain in Wichita for his senior season.
In October 2008, Brown was selected to the 2009 U.S. Army All-American Bowl. Brown finished the 2008 season with a Wichita City League regular-season record 1,873 yards rushing, giving him 7,209 rushing yards overall, also a City League record. He was named to the USA Today All-USA First-team for the second consecutive time.
His workouts, recruiting, and news media requests were handled by Brian Butler, who identified himself as Brown's trainer and handler. Butler sold updates of Brown's recruitment via website for $9.99 a month or $59 a year and sought contributions that he says were used to take players on a tour of colleges each summer. At one point, Butler announced Brown was considering entering the Canadian Football League (CFL), but Brown backed down from that claim. As a result of Butler's handling, the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s amateurism certification staff launched an investigation to determine whether anything had been done that would jeopardize Brown's amateur status. The NCAA's investigation eventually cleared Brown to play before the start of his freshman season.
On February 22, 2008, Brown chose to follow his brother and verbally committed to the University of Miami. However, Brown did not sign a letter of intent on National Signing Day 2009, but instead planned to announce his decision on March 16, naming five other "finalists" despite his oral commitment to Miami: LSU, Tennessee, Oregon, USC, and Kansas State. Said ESPN.com′s Tom Luginbill: "If I was Randy Shannon and the Miami staff, I would tell the kid and Brian Butler to go jump in a lake. I got to imagine that deep down, Miami's coaches have to be thinking, 'This is getting ridiculous.'" Prior to his announcement, Brown paid official visits to Oregon and Clemson, and finally took an impromptu visit to Tennessee on March 13.
