College career
2005 season
In 2005, Brown enrolled at West Virginia University where he studied athletic coaching education. He sat out his true freshman season on redshirt status after losing the competition for starting quarterback to Pat White. Brown said that he first found out about the decision by reading the team's website. He discussed transferring to another college with his family once but felt loyal to West Virginia, which was the first school to offer him an athletic scholarship and countenance his playing both football and basketball. Brown spent the offseason working out with the linebackers in the weight room and studying head coach Rich Rodriguez's playbook.[2]
2006 season
In 2006, Brown played in six games as a backup behind starting quarterback Pat White. Against Marshall, he scored a touchdown on a seven–yard quarterback keeper. Against Eastern Washington, he threw 11 completions on 15 attempts for 129 yards. Brown also saw some action in garbage time against Syracuse, Connecticut, and Cincinnati. Pat White was injured before the regular season finale, so Brown started against Rutgers.[1] Brown completed 14 of 29 passes for 244 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He also made 17 rushing attempts for 73 yards and one touchdown, and he was sacked twice.[5] Brown threw the game-winning touchdown pass to win the game in triple overtime.[6]
2007 season
In 2007, Brown played in ten games as a reserve. He recorded 31 completions on 48 attempts for 341 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. Brown also rushed 49 times for 327 yards and three touchdowns. Against South Florida, Brown was substituted for an injured White, and passed for 149 yards and a touchdown.[1] After the football season, he played basketball for the Mountaineers and scored 13 points in as many games.[7]
2008 season
In 2008, Brown played in nine games, starting once.[1] He recorded 22 completions on 30 attempts for 114 yards, one touchdown, and one interception.[8] Brown and White alternated as the quarterback during the Rutgers game, with Brown being utilized often in short-yardage situations. He said, "Whatever gets me on the field and whatever helps this team, I enjoy it, I'm just playing my role."[9] White was eventually knocked out of that game by injury, and Brown replaced him for the remainder and led West Virginia to win, 24–17.[10] After the season, Brown joined the basketball team, but eventually re-dedicated his focus on football.[2]
