Max Browne, who spent last season as a redshirt freshman with the USC Trojans football team after a stellar career at Skyline, is featured in a SportsIllustrated.com article naming potential breakout stars in college football for the 2014 season.
The story runs with the recent trend of redshirt freshman winning the sport’s most prestigious award – the Heisman Trophy – as Johnny Manziel and Jameis Winston have the past two seasons.
SI.com reporter Zac Ellis tabs Browne as one of nearly a dozen players who could see a similar upward tick in productivity and celebrity as a result of an increased role on their team in 2014.
He talks about former head coach Lane Kiffin’s decision to keep Browne out of the competition for the starting job last year between Max Wittek and Cody Kessler, which Kessler eventually won.
“New Trojans coach Steve Sarkisian has brought Browne into the fold this spring, which could prove significant on the heels of Wittekâs decision to transfer.”
During his four years at Skyline, Browne led the Spartans to a pair of state titles and three 4A state championship games, while also collecting a host of awards and honors. He was named the National Gatorade Player of the Year in his senior season.
