Five-star recruit Lamar Brown has potential on both sides of the football. He ranks No. 5 overall on the 2026 ESPN Junior 300.
Just How Good Is Lamar Brown?
on3’s Cody Bellaire said that Brown “will add weight throughout his frame with ease and is one of the best big-man movers for his age I have ever seen with my own eyes. Whether it is on offense or defense, Brown showed why he garners so much attention when he shows up to an event.”
Brown is not the top lineman on the ESPN 300 list, though Zion Elee, a defensive end, is third, and Jackson Cantwell is fourth for an offensive lineman.
Elee has committed to Maryland already, while Cantwell and Brown have not decided on their college just yet.
Brown is the only one who has seen action on both sides of the ball, which makes him special. At 6’4″ and 275 pounds, he has the size that college coaches will want.
Bellaire went on to say that Brown “can overpower up front but was more impressive because of the blocking ability he has.”
Billy Tucker sent out a post on X with fire emojis, calling Brown a “freak of nature.”
