Brown just burned down a couch on live TV while talking to McAfee, a visual that immediately went viral. There’s also a connection to the school as he made his announcement on McAfee’s platform. McAfee, a former NFL kicker, began his football career at the University of West Virginia in 2005.
Brown is a four-star offensive tackle who stands at six feet five inches and weighs 270 pounds. He’s a native of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He’s considered the third-best prospect out of the state and ninth-best overall offensive tackle in the nation. He’s the 95th-best recruit in the class of 2026, according to 247 Sports.
To commit to West Virginia, Brown turned down offers from Penn State, Alabama, Auburn, and Boston College.
Kevin Brown’s Athletic Background in High School
Brown was a multi-sport athlete in high school. He played football at Harrisburg High School, where he also participated in wrestling. In the latter discipline, he was a District champion and a PIAA Class 3A state tournament qualifier in the 10th grade.
Regarding his football career, scouts have praised him for his ability to return to the starting lineup at his school after missing most of his junior season with a foot injury. Due to his height not being at the top of what’s expected for an offensive tackle, he’s expected to develop in the interior of the offensive line. Nonetheless, some scouts did note that, based on his sheer talent, a career in the corners shouldn’t be immediately discounted.
