Yulkeith Brown

Was Yulkeith Brown a Week 1 sensation or will he continue to make plays against Appalachian State? He had a 66-yard touchdown to start the game, then a spectacular block to allow Ainias Smith to secure a touchdown.

Brown finished second on the Aggies in terms of receiving in Week 1, with all but two of his yards coming from the first touchdown of the season. One thing about Brown is that he can effect the game with more than just catching passes. He has great awareness and plays with a lot of heart.

I’m excited to see how he plays this week because if he can make some plays against the Mountaineers he could quickly become a fan favorite. Hopefully Brown can get open down field, allowing for deep bombs to help A&M’s offense stay explosive.
