Huskies Reach Out to New York Edge Rusher with Scholarship Offer
Caden Brown covers a lot of ground as an edge rusher and a Class of 2024 recruit for Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn, New York.

End zone to end zone?
Try coast to coast.
In recent days, the 6-foot-4, 210-pound Brown traveled to Seattle to tour the University of Washington, this after getting a good look at Eugene and the University of Oregon campus some 280 miles south.
Brown went home with a scholarship offer in hand from the Huskies, his eighth overall to go those received from Penn State, West Virginia, Rutgers, Maryland, Nebraska, Buffalo and Syracuse.
He's a second-generation college football defender who will have to give the latter school a long, hard look, considering his father played for the Orange.
Alban Brown was a starting linebacker as a senior for Syracuse in 1989 and a member of its unbeaten football team in 1987, sharing in an 11-0-1 team that advanced to the Sugar Bowl, where it tied Auburn 16-16.
Caden Brown enjoyed an unbeaten season himself this past fall, but he and his teammates beat everyone they played.
With a tremendous reach and elite speed, Brown shared in a 9-0 season for Erasmus Hall, a school known as a talent feeder for Power 5 schools. He and his teammate won those games from 7 to 50 points.
Brown is considered the No. 1 player in New York in his class by some analysts and should attract a lot more offers once he plays his junior season.
The Huskies, widening their recruiting base under Kalen DeBoer, have now offered recruits in 25 different states.
