Brown came to the Wolfpack from the University of South Dakota, where he spent the 2015 season as the linebackers coach/video coordinator under legendary coach Joe Glenn. The Coyote defense improved from last in the conference to top 30 in the country while transitioning from the 3-4 to the 4-3.

He coached future second-team All-Pro performer Zach Orr and 2014 C-USA Leading Tackler, Derek Akunne. Also during his time at North Texas, Brown helped turn the Mean Green defense from last overall in the FBS in 2010 to No. 8 nationally in scoring defense and No. 17 in total defense by 2013.
From 2010-12, the Eagle Scout served as the defensive quality control assistant at North Texas.
Brown played lacrosse at Southern Methodist University, earning his B.B.A in business management in 2010. In 2014, he received an MBA in marketing from the University of North Texas.
