JSU football: Sean Brown named to John Mackey Award preseason watch list
JACKSONVILLE — After a pair of impressive seasons to start out his Jacksonville State tenure, tight end Sean Brown garnered some national recognition on Friday.
The award committee announced that Brown is one of 48 tight ends named to the John Mackey Award preseason watch list.
The award, which has been given since 2000, is awarded to the most outstanding tight end in college football.
Brown, who was named to back-to-back all-conference teams, finished last season with 331 yards and a touchdown on 18 catches, averaging 18.39 yards per catch and 33.10 receiving yards per game.
He finished second in both catches and receiving yards on the team last season, trailing only receiver Sterling Galban.
Brown was one of two Conference USA tight ends on the list, joining FIU's Josiah Miamen.
Georgia tight end Brock Bowers won the award last season.
