Early life
[edit | edit source]Brown's father, Barry Brown Sr, was a star basketball player at Jacksonville and is now a middle school principal.[1] Brown Jr. began playing basketball at a young age and was competing in recreational tournaments at the age of five. By the age of seven, he was playing in older age brackets in Amateur Athletic Union tournaments. Growing up, Brown also excelled at football.[2]
High school career
[edit | edit source]Brown attended Gibbs High School, where he was coached by Larry Murphy. He scored 36 points in the regional final as a senior to lead Gibbs to a win over Golden Gate.[3] Brown was a three-star recruit and committed to Kansas State over offers from Florida Gulf Coast, Providence, Texas A&M and Wichita State.[2]
College career
