How Keenen Brown Grew From Receiver to Cowboy Back

Keenen Brown’s 247Sports profile lists him at 205 pounds out of high school. Three years later, the Oklahoma State roster has him exactly 45 pounds heavier.

Brown was a four-star receiver out of Alief Taylor High School in Houston. He held 20 offers from the likes of Oklahoma, LSU and Wisconsin. Simply, a stud. But he wouldn’t make it as a receiver.

Brown broke his foot before his freshman season, which held him out of just about everything except the room with the food in it. Cowboy backs coach Jason McEndoo said what happened next was fairly understandable.
