Big time snag for Fitzgerald and friends.
Earnest Brown a 4-star defensive end from Denton, Texas has verbally committed to Northwestern, as initially reported by Wildcat Report on Tuesday night.
Brown is 6-5 233 lbs and played at Ryan High School. 247 Sports thinks highly of Brown, as his composite rating of .8936 checks in as the 11th best strong-side defensive end in the nation and the 44th best prospect in the state.
