Steven Brown

Steven Brown, 24, made the move from the playing field to the coaching staff last year, spending one season as a graduate assistant on Watson Brown’s staff. This year, he has moved into a full-time assistant coaching role, and will continue to work primarily with Golden Eagle quarterbacks.

He will have veteran Lee Sweeney back for one more season, and will also be working to mold several young signal-callers including redshirt freshman Tre Lamb, junior Cass Barnes, sophomore Jeremy Woods and transfer Clint Brewster.

A player with much experience, he had one season of eligibility remaining after playing for the Golden Eagles in 2007, but passed on the chance to play one final season for the opportunity to begin his coaching career.

The son of head coach Watson Brown, Steven played two seasons at UAB then transfered to Tech in 2007 where he played both wide receiver and quarterback for the Golden Eagles.

A highly recruited prep quarterback out of high school, he originally enrolled at Auburn in 2004, then moved to UAB and made the transition to receiver in 2005. In 2006 he played in 11 of 12 games for the Blazers, ranking fifth on the team with 14 catches for 200 yards and two touchdowns.

In his one season for the Golden Eagles, he had 12 catches for 164 yards as an inside receiver. In the middle of the season, with injuries to the top three quarterbacks, Steven stepped under center and played quarterback. He finished the year going 22-for-34 for 252 yards and one touchdown, posting a 119.02 quarterback rating.

In high school, he was named honorable mention on the Class 6A All-State team in 2003 as a senior quarterback, helping lead Vestavia Hills to a 12-2 record and an appearance in the state semifinals.

Although this camp is owned and operated by TTU coaches and use of their facilities is warranted, it is run independently of Tennessee Tech University.
