USC cornerback Prophet Brown suffered a non-contact injury at practice and will miss the beginning of the season, according to USC head coach Lincoln Riley, via the LA Times‘ Ryan Kartje. Despite being a non-contact injury, which is often severe, Brown’s injury is not expected to be season-ending, per Riley.
Brown is headed into his fifth and final season of collegiate football. He has spent his entire career at USC, where he’s recorded 31 tackles and two pass deflections.
“I mean, he’s taken a big step and he’s one of the guys we trust the most on defense,” USC defensive coordinator D’Anton Lynn said on Thursday about Brown. “He can play nickel, he can play corner. There’s actually been sometimes in a pinch where he can go play safety just because he knows what to do. Outside of Kamari [Ramsey], I would say that nobody on the backend quite knows the defense like him.”
