'Ballhawk' Brown: De La Salle's DeShawn Ready for Rebound
DeLaSalle's DeShawn Brown intercepted two passes in a 2024 spring game, a testament to his 'ballhawk' instincts. The 5-foot-11, 165-pound cornerback from Concord, California, has overcome a torn ACL to earn a starting role for the Spartans, a CIF Division 1-AA powerhouse. Brown, a rising senior, spent the 2024-2025 school year rehabilitating his knee and attending strength and conditioning sessions. He's been a key participant in De La Salle's summer camp, showcasing his agility and quickness in drills. Brown's experience playing alongside top-level competition will serve him well this season. As scouts take note of his progress, they'll be watching to see how Brown adapts to game situations and whether he can maintain his intercepting prowess. Can Brown's hard work translate to a standout season on the gridiron?
