Quote from Brown: āThe thing about Alabama, and it was mostly a tie (with A&M), but the thing that broke that tie was that A&M is closer to home and honestly I had a little better relationship with the coaches than I did with the staff at Alabama.ā
āAll schools offer you an education, football, they got everything. I just wanted to see something different that they could offer me. That thing was that itās close to my mom, somewhere I could be successful in and out of sports, and somewhere that has a big alumni base so that if sports didnāt work out, I would have connections there.ā
