Derrick Brown Jr. committed to Oregon Wednesday, a transfer defensive tackle from Howard University. 6-5, 295.
From Fort Washington, Maryland, Brown Jr. redshirted in 2022 and played three seasons for the Bison, making the Mid-Eastern Conference All-Academic Team in 2022. He posted 56 tackles and three sacks over three seasons, 4.5 tackles for loss.
Chris Hummer of 247Sports reports that he has two seasons of eligibility remaining, as does Adam Rittenberg of ESPN. He started 16 games over the last two seasons at Howard.
In a brief highlight film from his days in the MEAC, Brown stands out as a gap-plugger and a persistent big man who rushes with his head up and looks to shed blockers and get to the ball.
