Local elite WR speaks on FSU's pitch, relationship with coaching staff

Bubba Brown, a highly ranked four-star wide receiver, had a standout sophomore season at Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Georgia. He recorded 28 receptions for 518 yards and five touchdowns while contributing 156 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. Brown also added an interception on defense and handled punt return duties. After his junior year, he transferred to Florida State University High School in Tallahassee, where he began his high school football journey.

Since his return, the FSU Seminoles have intensified their recruitment efforts, making sure to maintain contact with not only Brown's football skills but also his basketball talents. Brown, who averages impressive statistics on the basketball court, expressed his appreciation for the relentless communication from the coaching staff, both in football and basketball.

The 6-foot-2, 190-pound Brown, ranked as the nation's No. 140 overall prospect and No. 20 wide receiver, is exploring various options as he considers his future. He has a long list of potential schools to visit, including the Texas Longhorns, Florida Gators, Alabama Crimson Tide, Nebraska Cornhuskers, Georgia Bulldogs, Tennessee Volunteers, Auburn Tigers, and Florida State.

The main reason Brown is keen on visiting FSU is the strong relationship he has developed with offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Tim Harris Jr. Harris's dedication to Brown's mental well-being outside of football has played a significant role in Brown's decision-making process. With local talent crucial to the program's success, Brown is an attractive prospect for FSU in the 2028 recruiting cycle, alongside fellow four-star cornerback Izayah Vickers, who also attends Florida State University High School.
