Draft Profile: Bio
Davonte Brown attended American Heritage High School and was rated a 3-star prospect by 247 Sports with a scout's rating of 0.830, going unranked by ESPN. Following high school, Brown opted to join UCF.

In 2020 as a freshman Brown saw action in 9 games and played a total of 411 snaps at cornerback for the Knights. He recorded 22 tackles, one assist, while adding 2 stops. In coverage Brown notched up one pass breakup, no interceptions, and an unimpressive QB rating when targetted of 133.1.

As a sophomore in 2021 he played in 13 games and logged 763 snaps for the Knights. He made 26 tackles, 8 assists, and had 11 stops. In coverage he totaled 7 pass breakups, one interception, and QB rating when targetted of 62.1.

Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Has the fluidity, speed and quick feet to come down and defend slot receivers in man coverage. Brown also does a nice job breaking down in space as a tackler after the catch.
  • His ball skills are very good. Brown tracks the ball well downfield and has the hands and coordination to come away with interceptions even when Brown isn’t targeted often.
  • Has the change-of-direction ability to mirror underneath but did solid work out of press and off coverage.
  • He’s also very good in zone coverage, showing a great understanding of routes and the ability to close quickly.
  • Instincts are outstanding, and he does an excellent job in route recognition.
  • Has good ball skills to locate and attack the ball in the air.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Brown runs well, but Brown doesn’t have elite recovery speed.
  • Susceptible to the big plays as a gambler at the catch point and as a catch-and-run victim. He’s also too reluctant to come up and make hits in run support, often focusing on the strip more than the tackle.
  • Lacks elite speed to recover if beaten on double move. Ducks his head and swipes too often on open-field tackles.
