Mikel Brown Jr. committed to the Louisville Cardinals back in January 2025. The 5-star point guard at the time was around 6-foot-3, 170 pounds, and was considered a bit undersized for the sport, but made up for it with his ability to control the pace of the game and his ability to create his own shots.
Well, while this was considered a weakness of his, he quickly turned it into a strength after he grew a couple of inches this summer and put on a significant amount of muscle. The 5-star freshman now is 6-foot-5, and according to his profile on the official website, he is 180 pounds, but he might be even more after fans look at his recent photos.
