Standout 2024 Athlete Josiah Brown Has Notre Dame Among Top 10 Schools

Notre Dame just closed out on a tremendous wide receiver haul when it landed 2023 standouts Jaden Greathouse, Braylon James, Rico Flores Jr. and Kaleb Smith in Chansi Stuckey’s first recruiting cycle as the program’s wide receiver coach. Now the Irish staff is looking to land a 2024 group that is just as good, if not better. Arguably the best big play threat on the board is Hicksville (N.Y.) Holy Trinity Diocesan athlete Josiah Brown, who included Notre Dame in the Top Ten list of schools today.

Brown’s list included the Fighting Irish, Georgia, Miami, Michigan, Penn State, Nebraska, South Carolina, Duke, Syracuse, and Rutgers.

Brown was a two-way star for the 10-0 state champion Holy Trinity Titans squad. On offense, Brown recorded 20 receptions for 331 yards and seven touchdowns. That was good enough for 16.6 yards per reception. On defense, he recorded 16 total tackles, one tackle for loss, one interception and a forced fumble. Brown also took a punt back 70 yards for a touchdown.

Those numbers need context. His team outscored opponents 378 to 43 on the season and there were several games where Brown was out for the second half of games.

Brown is also a standout on the track for Holy Trinity as a sprinter. He posted personal bests of 10.76 in the 100 meter dash, 21.98 in the 200 meter and 6.38 in the 55 meter as a sophomore. That speed immediately jumps out on film.

The 6-1, 175-pound athlete is well liked by various recruiting platforms from a rankings perspective. He is considered the No. 50 overall player and No. 5 athlete in the 2024 class according to On3. ESPN sees him similarly, having him as the No. 80 overall player and No. 8 athlete nationally. Each platform has Brown as the top player in the state of New York.

The New York native has built an impressive offer list. Some of the early notable offers outside of his top list include Oklahoma, Michigan State, Pittsburgh, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Boston College among others.

Notre Dame already has a commitment from standout 2024 pass catcher Cam Williams, who is one of the top players at the position in the class. Brown would potentially bring a dynamic element to the room that the program needs more of.

Brown last visited campus on July 26. He is planning on a return visit this spring but has not finalized a date.
