The junior spent one season in Chestnut Hill where he appeared in 31 games which included 29 starts and averaged 25.8 minutes, 7.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.5  assists per game.

The news was first reported by Verbal Commits on X and was confirmed by Brown via his Instagram story on Thursday afternoon.
