Devin Brown made the move from the Phoenix area to Utah powerhouse Corner Canyon for his senior season. Corner Canyon has become a juggernaut in recent years, particularly on offense. That is to say, it should not be a huge surprise that Brown is putting up some prolific passing numbers as a senior. Aside from the high interception count (averaging over one per game), Brown is operating the Corner Canyon offense at a high level. Brown is a strong-armed passer with and throws a tight, clean ball. He's best when operating within structure at this point.

Devin Brown was our top overall performer at the Elite 11 Finals. The USC commit was consistently good over the event’s four days. Brown was the biggest revelation on Day 1. The Arizona native flashed a quick throwing motion and was able to generate considerable zip on his passes to all levels. The ball came out of his hand quick and hot. Brown also consistently spun the ball the best of the group on Day 1, making for a strong first impression. The one area where he was a bit behind a few of the other top performers on the first day was in his ability to layer passes. Brown often resorted to throwing fastballs, which he certainly can. He was also a top performer on Day 2, catching fire in his Pro Day session. While some of the quarterbacks saw their play dip in 7-on-7, Brown continued to show well and was among the best in that setting. Brown’s throws cut through the air – he spins the ball very well on a throw-to-throw basis with little wobble. He also showed some ball-handling and footwork skills while operating from under center.
