Just over a week after pledging to the Texas Longhorns on June 8, three-star wide receiver Kohen Brown nearly stole the show at the Rivals Camp Series regionals. The Waxahachie native had already de-committed from USC in early May, then reaffirmed his commitment to Texas—telling Rivals he’s officially done with his recruitment .
At the May 4 regional in Dallas, Brown’s performance drew high praise. Rivals’ national analyst Sam Spiegelman placed him among the “five best WRs and TEs of the 2025 regionals,” giving him an impressive 5.8/6.1 rating. Although that rating typically reflects four-star talent in their system, Brown remains a three-star in composite rankings .
Spiegelman didn’t hold back: “The recent Texas verbal pushed for MVP honors in Dallas and made a strong case for the honor with his blazing top‑end speed to get downfield and outstanding acceleration,” he said. He also highlighted Brown’s “strong hands and explosive route‑running skills during positional drills” .
Such recognition underscores Brown’s true potential, marking him as a prospect to watch in the 2026 class. He was rated 72nd in Texas and 84th nationally among wide receivers by 247Sports, boasting track‑level speed—a 10.69‑second 100‑meter dash—and finishing 2024 with 1,084 yards and 11 touchdowns .
Brown’s Rivals skill‑show helped him hold his own against some of the region’s top talents. He was featured alongside elite four-star wideouts—Texas A&M commits Aaron Gregory and Madden Williams, LSU commit Jabari Mack—and four-star tight end Kaiden Prothro . All on that list likely boast higher national rankings, yet Brown’s inclusion signals he belongs amid the upper tier of his class.
For Texas, Brown’s commitment and high‑profile camp performance should boost momentum as they build their 2026 recruiting class. He joins a growing group of future offensive playmakers headlined by standout commits like five-star QB Dia Bell and four-star receiver Chris Stewart .
In short: Brown’s shift of full attention to skill refinement—and his standout showing at Rivals—suggests he’ll make a significant impact on Austin soon. And for Texas fans, that’s exactly the kind of electrifying talent you’d expect out of the promise-rich Lone Star State.
