Inaugural coaching staff completed
Houston--Dunlevie Family Head Football Coach Scott Abell officially announced on Thursday the addition of Brian Brown as the final of his position group coaches on his inaugural coaching staff.
"I am so excited to finalize our coaching staff with the addition of Brian Brown," Abell said. "His playing and coaching experience will be a huge addition. This completes our inaugural Rice football coaching staff, and I couldn't be more excited."
Brown was a record-setting receiver at Richmond from 2013-16 and spent three seasons on NFL practice squads with Dallas and Detroit before starting his coaching career.
He was a two-time All-American selection at Richmond while setting Spiders' career records with 247 receptions, 4,203 receiving yards, and 23 touchdowns and leading the Spiders to three consecutive FCS Playoff appearances, including a semifinal berth in 2015. His 4,203 yards were ranked 10th at the FCS level heading into the 2024 season.
Brown joins the Owls after serving as a defensive assistant and secondary coach at Davidson.
Before Davidson, Brown was an athletic skills trainer and assistant football coach at Hermitage High School. Brown held the title of passing game coordinator while also coaching the safeties and wide receivers.
Brown received his bachelor's degree in sociology and history from Richmond in 2017.
