The four-year varsity player, three-year starter and two-year team captain helped the Yellow Jackets compile a four-year mark of 66-31. Brown led the team in scoring and rebounding as a junior and senior. The two-time All-OAC selection was BW's Most Improved Player in 1991, the Most Outstanding Player in 1993 and its Outstanding Rebounder and the Lenny Wilkins/CAVS Rebounders Division III College Player of the Year in 1994. 

Following his BW career, Brown was an assistant coach under BW legend, men's basketball coach and hall-of-famer Steve Bankson, served as the head coach at Lakeland Community College and was the head assistant coach at Ohio University.
