BOOM! Tahj Brown - DL from Louisiana (Update: Signed)

The strength of the Tiger team starts with four-year starter Tahj Brown. The all-state linebacker has grown to 6 feet, 3 inches and 258 pounds, and verbally committed to the Houston Cougars to play college football. “Tahj has great work ethic and he is our rock”.

Donaldsville won their opener 16-15. Apparently, Brown had a pretty good night and secured a fumble that led to the winning TD

LAFM: You are committed to play for the Houston Cougars. What is it about the Cougars that has attracted you the most?

I just like how they are pursuing me and I believe it is a good fit for me. I love the relationship that I have with Coach Major Applewhite and the defensive line coach in Coach A.J. Blum.

LAFM: I know you are committed to Houston and focused on your senior season right now, but are you still open to any other colleges that are given you offers and college visits?

Yes. I am still open to any other colleges and will be taking visits, but as of now, I am committed to Houston.

Doesn’t sound like much of a real commitment

He’s 256 coming out of high school??? Any chance he makes the move to DT? We need to start building depth there.

He’ll be a good 3-4 DE. Might be able to bulk up and play the middle.

It’s nice to be in demand. Nothing wrong with visiting other schools that are interested to confirm your decision. He sounds as committed to UH as I am to my employer. It would take quite a bit to get me to leave (good pay, I like my manager, etc.) but I don’t know what opportunities may come my way in the future. So, for now, yes I am committed.

Exactly. This is a once in a lifetime process for kids, there is nothing wrong with them enjoying the ride. A lot of times (especially on official visits) they are just going to view the campus/stadium and get out of their home town.

I’m still tripping on the fact that he’s already bigger than Matt Adams. Good job by CMA finding size for the middle of our defense!

Yep, sounds like he’s holding the door for a LSU offer and is gone the second they do. But then that’s most Louisiana kids, and who could blame any of them.

Don’t buy into the term commitment. Recruiting is more like Match.com, just because you are interested in one woman doesn’t mean you quit looking at others. The only true expression of a commitment is the signed LOI.

Close the deal CMA!!!

He definitely fits an area of need at MLB for next season.

CMA made it very clear after last signing day that going forward you don’t commit to UH and then de-commit. I’m sure Brown knows that. I guess it’s possible that he committed so as to get others attention and attract more offers. He has P5 offers from a handful of schools at that.

Also, if LSU had interest, wouldn’t they have offered him by now? It’s not like he was unknown his junior year so they and everyone else has had plenty of time.

He’s probably a solid commit at this point. Be very surprised if he doesn’t sign next month.

Big one as Wake Forest was in his house the day before:

I’ve seen his videos on Hudl. Playing for small town makes him really stand out. But I hope he’s not like the genius kid in high school who never studied and got straight ‘As’ and then gets to college and can’t hack it. Looks like his school is using Detroit Tigers ‘D’. Wonder if they had to pay to use it.

Wake Forest is coming after Tahj hard. Visited him in home last week and now the official visit.

He visits UH this week and then UT the week after.
