Former USC lineman Chris Brown passes away at age 24

Former USC Trojans offensive lineman Chris Brown passed away at the age of 24. No cause of death was released.

Brown’s passing is sad news for USC a year after another former lineman Max Tuerk died last year.

Brown was a part of the program from 2015 through 2018. He played with current NFL QB Sam Darnold and was a part of the Pac-12 championship squad in 2017. He earned All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention recognition and was the USC Offensive Lineman of the Year.

Current Trojans head coach Clay Helton spoke about the news on Twitter.
