Howard Brown of
Lincoln College Prep (Kansas City, Mo.) is headed to Iowa State next year, where he is expected to compete for playing time as a defensive tackle. But for now, the 6-foot-2, 300-pound senior is playing
quarterback for his high school team and has some legitimate skills as a signal caller, as seen in the video above.
Brown has the Blue Tigers sitting at 4-2 heading in to Friday's night's contest with Central (Kansas City). In Lincoln College Prep's last win Oct. 2 against Pembroke Hill (Kansas City), the big man threw a 43-yard touchdown pass and ran for another.
A week earlier against Van Horn (Independence), Brown again threw for a score and ran for another as Lincoln College Prep dominated 55-7.
So how big is Brown exactly? Probably depends on the day but he's listed at 275 pounds on Lincoln College Prep's MaxPreps roster, 288 pounds by
247Sports and a
July article by Chris Hummer of Cyclone Alert suggests he may be over the 300-pound mark. Let's just say he's somewhere between 275 and 305.
247Sports pegs Brown as a top 50 defensive tackle prospect nationally. He committed to the Cyclones over offers from Kansas and Tulsa among others.
