Recruitment Recap: Jayden Brown was a big recruiting win for the Dino Babers staff. A talented player from one of the biggest power programs in Jersey, Brown had the potential to be the next great Syracuse linebacker. However, a coaching change with the Orange made that a bit of a question. The good news for Brown is that the new staff has extensive ties to New Jersey so would naturally be familiar with Jayden. Brown connected with the new staff and believed in their vision for the program and his future. 

Evaluation: Jayden Brown is an intriguing linebacker prospect. He oozes athleticism but has the skill set to play inside or outside backer at the next level. He is quick, strong and has a knack for making plays in the backfield. Brown can get caught with opposing offensive linemen at times, and therefore needs to get stronger at the next level in order to help him shed. He can also work to refine his coverage skills on linebackers and running backs.
