The surprises keep coming for what the 2022 recruiting class might look like and even with us being seven months into the year, I’m sure that we will have plenty more to come moving forward until this class is wrapped up next February. Covering the newest commit to the 2022 class, let’s get after it!
#22Bullies QB Byrum Brown Commits to the 2022 Class
Two quarterbacks to the 2022 class? Count me in! Via Twitter, QB Byrum Brown out of North Carolina committed to the 2022 class on July 1st, becoming the third commit to the class thus far. Currently ranked as the 72nd best QB in the country, Brown holds offers from Appalachian State, Georgia State, Old Dominion, Miami (OH), and Florida A&M to name a few. Brown’s junior season included the QB taking his team to the state championship game (falling just shy of a state title) with a stat-line including 32 total TDs (22 passing, 10 rushing) and 2,530 total yards (1,962 passing yards, 568 rushing yards).

Mike’s Take:
Color me shocked, but I did not think that the coaching staff would add two quarterbacks this class. I’ll say this though, they got another good one in Brown out of North Carolina. When you watch Brown’s tape, he reminds me ALOT of Cincinnati QB Desmond Ridder. Both are tall, athletic QBs that can beat defenses through the air and ground and are the most successful when they can extend plays outside of the pocket. Brown will join a talented QB room at USF, but will come in with enough upside and experience under his belt to make an impact at the position later down the line. Welcome to the class Byrum!
