Keith Brown Commits To Louisville Cardinals
Louisville steals a top linebacker out of Miami.
Brown has a decent frame for an inside linebacker prospect at 6’2” and 230 pounds. His biggest strength is obviously his power. He excels at taking on blocks, shedding them and tackling the runner. Brown isn’t as good in coverage, but he certainly doesn’t struggle in that area, either. He’ll likely not be running with slot receivers down the field, but if used correctly, he will be able to be effective against the pass.
Brown will be expected to play immediately for Charlie Strong’s defense.
