As a College Recruit

Polished, battled tested cornerback who stars for one of the nation's top high school programs. Listed at around 6-foot-1, 180 pounds with unverified length. Primarily lines up on the outside for Mater Deil. Shows good ball skills, picking off 3 passes and breaking up 5 more as a junior. Comfortable reading the quarterback's eyes and jumping short routes. Plays both press and off coverage. Comfortable lining up in man against top receivers. Plays with good technique, getting his hands on receivers to disrupt routes. A solid tackler in open space. Play speed and trigger are adequate, but wins more with technique and instincts. Speed registers as solid to average, as he typically runs in the 11.2-11.3 second range in the 100 meters. Can continue getting stronger. Older for the cycle, turning 18 years old during his junior season. Will be a 20 year-old as a true freshman.

Zabien Brown a Top Performer at All-American Bowl

Charles Power•

While Zay Mincey looked to be the most gifted cornerback at the All-American Bowl, his fellow Alabama signee Zabien Brown made a case as the most technical cover man. Brown, who starred at SoCal powerhouse Mater Dei, came to San Antonio with an easily recognizable polish in coverage. He was the On3 MVP on Day 3 of practice, turning in a very strong showing in 1-on-1’s and 7-on-7. At 6-foot-1, 180 pounds, Brown has good stature and length. He operates in a controlled and coordinated manner and rarely found himself out of position throughout the week. We saw the Crimson Tide signee get his hands on several passes in practice and he made a few plays in coverage during Saturday’s game, as well. He had no trouble adjusting to the speed of the top wide receivers on hand. The technical acuity and experience along with his good size points to a high floor and a prospect who could push for early playing time at the college level if necessary.
