He did see 6-foot-7 Ryan Brown, headed to Northern Illinois as a preferred football walk-on, display nice first-quarter touch around the net for 6 of his 14 points, and center Kyle Nelson scored half his 10 points in that opening quarter.

6'7" 260 lbs Rivals Profile: 2-stars, 5.4 Recruited by: Matt Limegrover Notes: Older brother Patrick Brown played at UCF and signed on as a free agent with the Carolina Panthers/Patriots/Vikings last year. Seems to be a project, but a 6'7" frame leaves you a lot of leeway to build a player. Just the fact that he's a basketball player tells you something. Exactly the type of athletic lineman that Coach Kill is looking for on this football team. |
Don't forget that Joe Pawlak was a former walk-on that became a full-time starter at Right Guard this past season. Can't wait to see this guy in a year or two after hitting the weight room.

Was there a reason for him just walking on right now
I think it’s great that they’ve invited Ryan Brown to walk on. It’s always worthwhile to take a chance on a big guy or a fast guy because if the work out you’ve hit a home run and Ryan Brown is definitely a big guy. Imagine if he works out and they have three 6-7/6-8 o-linemen in the starting lineup a few years down the road.
