Bryce Lee Brown (born May 14, 1991) is an American former professional football running back who played for the Philadelphia Eagles, Buffalo Bills, and Seattle Seahawks. He attended the University of Tennessee his freshman year of college, but decided to transfer to Kansas State after head coach Lane Kiffin left the program for USC.[1] Later that year, Volunteers coach Derek Dooley declined to release Brown from his scholarship, resulting in Brown sitting out the 2010 season at Kansas State due to NCAA transfer rules.[2] Brown left the Kansas State football team early in the 2011 season to enter the 2012 NFL draft. In April 2012, Brown was selected in the seventh round by the Philadelphia Eagles.[3]
While playing at Wichita East High School, he won the 2008 Hall Trophy for the best high school player in the United States and was ranked atop of the Rivals.com ranking of his class, the first running back to do so since Adrian Peterson in 2004.[4] In 2008, he was also dubbed the best high school running back prospect of the last five years.[5] In 2008, Rivals.com analyst Barry Every compared Brown to NFL running back Ronnie Brown.[4]
