Devin Brown started his high school career at Queen Creek in Arizona. As a sophomore, he led Queen Creek to the Class 6A state semifinals after becoming eligible halfway through the season. Then as a junior, he led the team to a 6-3 record and a first-round playoff appearance. Brown said he made the move to Corner Canyon for his senior season for a “private family matter.” Brown was mentored by former NFL quarterback Joe Germaine, who left Queen Creek to coach his alma mater, Mesa Mountain View. Brown’s father, Andrew Brown, went to school at BYU. His mother, Tammy Brown, went to school at Utah State. Brown was selected as a finalist for the prestigious Elite 11 quarterback camp. He lists wake surfing and fishing as his hobbies. He plans on majoring in business.
