100 Days to Football Time in Oklahoma: #6 Tre Brown

The Path to Norman

An OU offer was one of the first ones Brown received; there were many more to come. Tre Brown, a highly rated corner from Tulsa, Oklahoma had offers to play all over the country. However, Brown’s recruitment was a relatively quiet one. He committed to the Sooners about a year before his signing day, visited Norman a handful of times, had a couple programs push hard at the end, but signed with the Sooners without much noise.

Career so Far

Tre Brown pulled of the rare feat, despite several SS17 guys doing it, of playing every single game of his freshman season. For the first half of the season, his play came mostly on special teams. Then, Bedlam came around and Sooner nation got their first big dose of Tre Brown and Tre Norwood; they liked what they saw. Brown earned his first start against TCU the following week and played well. Throughout the rest of the season, Brown got a reputation as a speedy corner who fights hard and is fun to watch. 

In 2018, Brown contributed at both corner and kick returner. He was a starter most of the season at kick returner, averaging 24 yards per return and earning second team All-Big 12 honors. At corner, he played in almost every game and started the final eight matchups. Tre was perhaps the most dependable man in the secondary during that time.

Highlights

2019 Season

Tre Brown is a blazer and an aggressive corner. 2019 could be a big season for him in a newly revamped Sooner defense. Brown is almost certain to start at corner, with either Parnell Motley or Jordan Parker opposite him. His speed will be put to use again at kick return, where he will try to break out a touchdown this season. Tre Brown is all set to be a leader in the secondary as the unit looks for major improvement in 2019.
