SALISBURY, MD -- Wicomico senior running back David Brown signed a letter of intent Friday to play football at Morgan State University."I went and visited there," Brown said. "It seemed like a good college. They had everything I wanted academics-wise. They had my major. I want to study business."
Brown, who amassed 2,141 yards and 35 touchdowns on 167 carries this past season, turned down offers from the University of Delaware and Towson University to attend the school his mother, Phyllis, graduated from. "I wanted to stay close to home," Brown said. Brown will be joined at Morgan State by his brother, Carl, who will transfer from Catonsville Community College to play basketball for the Bears.

This is an awesome incoming freshman for Morgan State. Brown not only made himself into a talented running back but he broke the Maryland state record for touchdowns in a career with 43 overall touchdowns. The 6-0/195 back averaged 12.82 yards per carry last season, returned eight punts for 341 yards and six kickoffs for 373 yards--when teams actually kicked to him. His conference coaches elected Brown-- Bayside Offensive Player of the Year.
Its always great to see our kids turn down the Colonial Athletic Conference, i.e., University of Delaware and Towson University for the MEAC, Morgan State Bears. This kid had options, so its great to get a second generation Bear in the Morgan den, with talent and good grades.
