What position will Travion Brown play?

[COUGinNCW]

In a 4-2-5?
Last year he was moved around quite a bit. They need to find him a home and keep him there. He needs to be on the field.

By the way, he's the great nephew of Jackie Robinson, a former 4 sport athlete at ucla.

Wouldn’t you think Woods and him as the 2? They could cover a lot of ground.

Yes. Or a rush end.

I personally wouldn’t put him at rush end. He’s too fast and strong at pursuit to limit him to one side of the field. I think you’ve gotta have Woods and him in the middle going sideline to sideline...Woods is a good blitzer I’d think Brown would be too, he can always sneak around the edge on a blitz from time to time to give you that outside pressure.

Until he can learn to read a play he cant be trusted at mike or will lb. He has good speed and is a sure tackler, but he takes himself out of too many plays.

That being said, id love for him to play the will.

Good insight, I hadn’t seen that. Seemed like he was all over the field when he was in last year. JR noticeably took himself out of lots of plays and was painfully slow to react. Brown was only a freshman so I could see him making a big leap in play recognition...and you can’t teach that athleticism. I hope that duo is in the middle.

Vision and coverage skills are the question marks. If he has vision, I like him at Will. If he has both, I like him at Sam. If he had neither, I like him at EWU.

I know this is petty, but he doesn’t list WSU anything in his twitter bio. And has no pictures of WSU either for his pics. And I only found his profile because it popped up as following USC football. Struck me as odd.

He doesn't tweet much but he did retweet a bunch of WSU stuff related to him winning male freshman athlete of the year. I won't worry until he announced he's entering the portal.

Good. Probably spending so much time watching film and lifting weights he doesn’t have time for social media

Depends...if he is a great pass rusher you put him at end. There is nothing more dominant than a player putting the qb on his back. Peyton player didn't have Woods speed and quickness for example, but he could go sideline to sideline by reading and diagnosing the play
