Newton’s Tamauzia Brown Offered By Alabama
Newton 2019 ATH Tamauzia Brown received his 20th Division I FBS scholarship offer on Friday, and it was a big one.
Brown (6-1, 170) reported via Twitter that defending national champion Alabama has offered.
The Eagles' two-way standout also holds major offers from Arkansas, Baylor, Houston, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma State, Oregon, TCU, and Texas Tech.
Last season in helping Newton win the Class 3A Division II state championship, Brown starred on both sides of the ball. He finished as East Texas' interceptions leader with 12, while also posting a combined 1,432 yards rushing and receiving and 18 total touchdowns.
Alabama has become the nation's preeminent program under head coach Nick Saban. The Crimson Tide has won five national championships since 2009. Alabama is 127-20 since Saban took over in 2007.
Brown, like all juniors, is first eligible to sign with any school that offers him beginning in December.
