Barion Brown evaluation at All-American Bowl

Charles Power•

After Isaiah Bond, Kentucky signee Barion Brown was the fastest receiver at the All-American Bowl. Brown is more than a straight-line speedster, though. The Nashville product has the ability to change-directions mid-route and in the open field with hesitation and dead-leg moves. Brown made a few impressive plays in the open field early on in the game before going out with a sprained ankle. He tended to have concentration drops over the course of the week, which could be partially explained by the fact he was used more of a ball-carrier than receiver as a senior.

After Evan Stewart, we found Barion Brown to be one of the toughest covers within the wide receiver group nationally. The Nashville (Tenn.) Pearl-Cohn speedster is a considerable deep threat. Brown easily blows past opposing cornerbacks on vertical routes and is capable of taking any quick touch to the house. He’s not just a straight-line athlete though. We like Brown’s ability to change direction within his routes. The 6-foot-1, 170-pounder has also shown the ability to track and locate the ball while playing receiver and corner. That speed shows up on the track as well, where Brown was the Tennessee state champion in the 100 and 200 meters.
