Defensive End Siosefa Brown Will Boost BYU's Pass Rush

Siosefa Brown shut down his recruitment nearly a year ago and has been locked in with the Cougars

Clear back in January, defensive end prospect Siosefa Brown shut down his recruitment and committed to BYU. Brown picked up an early BYU offer in the Summer of 2022. After a great junior season, Brown started to reel in competing Power Five offers from Utah, Cal, Wasington State, and Vanderbilt. Brown's recruiting profile was on a rapid trajectory when he decided to shut down his recruitment early and commit to BYU. On Wednesday, he officially signed with BYU. Brown will join the program after serving a mission.

Brown, who received a three-star rating from 247Sports, prepped at Highland High School in Salt Lake City. Brown is a 6'5 defensive end prospect that also spent some time on offense as a wide receiver last season. His size, athleticism, and pass-rushing ability make him a perfect fit in Jay Hill's defensive scheme. It is his ability to disrupt off the edge that will make him a difference maker in Provo. You can check out a few of his high school highlights below.

Getting Brown on board early was a major win for the new defensive staff at BYU. The Cougars were able to hold on to his commitment for nearly a year and make him official.

This staff prioritized in-state recruiting and their efforts have paid off with commitments like this one. Brown is the real deal, and he is the type of prospect that could have picked up a long list of offers had he kept his recruitment open.
