During his time at Lyon County High School, Brown was one of the school's all-time greatest athletes. He won the 2016 state golf title while also winning the KHSAA Player of the Year award. Brown finished as the state runner-up in both 2015 and 2017 before ultimately joining the Kentucky Men's Golf team. In just his first season at UK, he was named to the SEC All-Freshman team--despite missing the first half of the season--and even participated in the Barbasol Championship last summer as an amateur.
Cullan was initially diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer in Sept. 2019 called osteosarcoma. A GoFundMe was quickly established to help Brown and his family. Here is a short excerpt about Cullan from the page:
