Brown created havoc in the Hogs secondary by tying for the SEC lead with five interceptions, which is tied for the second-most in the FBS.
His five picks are tied for ninth in a single season in school history and make him the first Razorback to tally five or more interceptions in a season since Tramain Thomas in 2011.
Additionally, he added 53 tackles, 1.0 tackle for loss, five passes broken up, a fumble recovery and forced fumble this year.
The Ashdown native is one of just two players in the SEC to produce multiple interceptions with at least one forced fumble and one fumble recovery this season.
Brown is the first Arkansas cornerback since Ahmad Carroll in 2003 to earn first-team recognition from the league’s coaches.
For the second consecutive season Pool earned second-team recognition from the conference’s coaches.
Bumper Pool earned second-team All-SEC honors for second straight year.

The linebacker ranks second in the SEC and tied for 10th nationally, logging a career-high 120 tackles. His seven games producing double-digit tackles is tied for third nationally.
The Lucas, Texas, native also added 7.5 tackles for loss, which ranks second on the team, and two passes broken up to his season stat line.
Pool has tallied 344 career tackles, placing eighth in the program’s record book. Over the last three seasons (2019-21), his 315 tackles are second in FBS in that span.
Pool’s honor gives Arkansas at least one linebacker with All-SEC honors from either the coaches or Associated Press for the fourth straight year.
The Razorbacks won eight games during the regular season — the most regular season wins for the program since 2011 — and will face Penn State in the Outback Bowl at 11 a.m. on New Year's Day.
