Signee analysis: Tyler Brown - 3-star WR - Greenville, SC

Committed since: 11/24/22.

Listed size: 5-11 170.

Notable: Brown logged 59 catches for 937 yards and 12 scores in a deep Greenville Playoff run as a senior. He topped 1,000 yards receiving (1034) in 13 games as a junior with 15 TDs and averaged 16.9 yards per catch over the last three seasons with 32 total scores. He is a former Minnesota commitment.

Tyler Grisham on Brown: "We had numerous coaches stand on the table for Tyler. So we knew about him. We watched him...Tyler stood out and made plays (in a game Grisham went to) and contacted our staff and said, 'Hey guys, we need to really take another look at Tyler.' He loves Clemson. I think that goes a long way...If you're going to play slot and you're not a 6-2 guy, you've got to run -- and he can do that..."

Quotable: "(I am) definitely a speedster guy. (I) run my routes as crisply as I can, from the get-go I was a leader. I came in to lead my team. I love to be someone that other people can follow…I want people to tell their kids: 'I want you to be like that.'" - Brown said of his game (source).
