Brown played football for four years at LU as a defensive lineman and eventually had the chance to play every line position during his career. He was a member of the team that played their last game in the old stadium and also played the first game in the new Dwight T. Reed Stadium in 1972.  The following year, the team won the MIAA championship and the 1972 team is the last winning season in program history. He lettered all four years in football and also participated in track and field. Brown threw the discus and shot put, and lettered two years. 

Following graduation, Brown had a free agent tryout with the Atlanta Falcons and the Detroit Lions. He went on to play for the Kansas City Steers for one year which was the “farm” team for a professional football team. 

Later, he entered the world of education, where he spent two years at Van Horn before spending the next eighteen years at Southeast High School as an assistant football coach where his teams won twelve city championships.
