Early Signing Day: 2022 S Austin Brown makes it official

Committed since the Fourth of July, safety prospect Austin Brown of Johnston City, Illinois was finally able to put pen to paper on Wednesday and become a Wisconsin Badger. One of the Midwest's top safeties, Brown is a fast and athletic defender that plays all over the field. He is projected to start out in the secondary, but his ability to get downhill and 200-pound frame allow him to make plays in the box frequently as well.

Also a standout on offense, playing quarterback, running back, and wide receiver at various points of his career, Brown is a very instinctive player and fluid athlete.
