Byrum Brown Rockets to No. 3 in PFF’s Deep Pass Rankings
Pro Football Focus placed Auburn newcomer Byrum Brown third on its list of college football’s best deep-ball throwers ahead of the 2026 season. After transferring from USF—where he doubled as both a 3,000-yard passer and a 1,000-yard rusher—Brown dazzled with a 52.7% completion rate on throws of 20+ yards. His arm strength impressed PFF analysts, ranking him above talents from USC and Ole Miss. Now signed under coach Alex Golesh, Brown carries the hopes of a Tigers program craving a true franchise quarterback since 2018, primed to debut in the SEC’s unforgiving arena.
Get ready for the hottest sequel in college football: “Deep Ball Dreams.” In one corner, we have Byrum Brown, the transfer superhero with an arm so strong it probably qualifies for its own Netflix special. In the other, unsuspecting SEC defenses, blissfully unaware they’ve signed up to be human targets in an episode of “Sack or Dare.” Critics might claim his USF stats were padded in a Group of Six sandbox, but hey, every cinematic hero needs a humble origin story. Whether he conquers the gauntlet of SEC linebackers or becomes tomorrow’s comic relief, Brown’s saga promises popcorn-worthy highlights—and at least one touchdown celebration choreographed by TikTok influencers.
