Mike Brown finished his four-year career at Liberty as one of the program’s most versatile players, earning All-America honors at both wide receiver and quarterback.

The native of Charlottesville, Va., came to the Mountain as a wide receiver, finishing his first two seasons with 79 receptions for 1,029 yards and three touchdowns. He was named to the CSN Fabulous FCS All-America first-team listing in 2009 and was selected as the Big South Player of the Year.

Brown moved under center in 2010 where he continued to flourish during his final two seasons. During the 2010 season, Brown threw for 2,956 yards and 23 touchdowns, repeating as Big South Player of the Year and earning CSN Sweet 63 All-America first-team honors as Liberty’s signal caller. As a junior, he set a then program record with 3,810 total offensive yards.

Brown was twice named to the Walter Payton Award watch list and was a top-20 finalist for the national FCS Player of the Year award in 2010 and 2011. Brown helped lead the Flames to three-straight Big South Conference titles (2008, 2009 and 2010).

Following his standout playing career at Liberty, Brown signed as a free agent with the Jacksonville Jaguars where he played for three seasons (2012-14). He has continued to thrive in college football, working as an assistant coach at Michigan (2016), Delaware (2017) Liberty (2018), Cincinnati (2019-22), Wisconsin (2023) and Notre Dame (2024).
