Another day, another Bronco. Fun news day for the Broncos with a Home-and-Home announced with Appalachian State as well as the full schedule drop for 2024. However, today is not the day to talk about playing Oregon on Peacock, today we have Mr. Demanuel Brown Jr.
#93, Demanuel Brown Jr, RS Freshman, DE
Stats
Height: 6’2
Weight: 265
High school: Dekaney HS (Houston, TX)
How’d he get to The Blue™?
Mr. Brown had offers from surrounding local schools initially, but found himself with offers from Boise State and Oregon State in July. Luckily for us, he chose the option that was marginally closer to home.
Nickname
De’ Manual.
Mr. Brown is a textbook DE. He’s straight from de manual.
Look-alike
KSI
Google refers to KSI as a “professional influencer and boxer” so that’s the best way I can think to describe him too. Perhaps we could get a KSI – DBJ boxing match??
Career Highlights
Demanuel redshirt in 2023, his inaugural season as a Bronco.
2024 Prospectus
Hard to say at the moment. I think he’s still a little off the radar from consistent defensive snaps but I could see him making inroads working with the special teams this year.
Is he on Twitter?
That he is, @Demanuelbrown1, although he’s not much of a tweeter. However, I just saw in his bio he ran a 49 second 400 meter dash in HS which is absolutely absurd at his size (albeit, he gained a good 35 lbs his freshman year-exciting for prospectus).
Completely made up fact
Demanuel Sr. was born in the age of printed manuals, while in Demanuel Jr’s lifetime, that has shifted toward digital manuals. Word is that DBJ will name his first son DeYouTube III to honor the advancement of manual technology.
I have no idea what impact he will have this year but the opportunity to make a difference is there for the taking as we need depth at DE. Hopefully he will ball out and we can call the “Brown” defense for him and Howard to wreck the Offense.
Big year for some younger D-line players to step up, prove themselves, earn a spot in the rotation.
