Commit Video Breakdown: 4-star Tulsa Union CB Tre Brown

Speed is the name of the game for Oklahoma's latest commitment, Tre Brown. It’s a weapon he brings with him into every battle and it serves him well.

It’s a trait that the 5-foot-11, 180-pound Tulsa (Okla.) Union cornerback utilize in every aspect of his game, not just a foot race in the open field. Brown recognizes that he can pick ‘em up and put ‘em down better than everybody on the field and he knows how to take advantage of it.

Brown can utilize his speed by intentionally trailing a receiver below full-speed to bait the quarterback into a throw that he can now undercut with a burst.

Speed can also show its benefits in technique in the secondary. As a receiver attempts to create space towards the sideline, Brown does a terrific job of beating him to the spot at a perfect angle to squeeze his opponent out of their own route. In a game where contact in the secondary is heavily scrutinized, using speed over strength to manipulate a receiver is a luxury.

Finding quality athletes in the secondary has become paramount to being a successful in the new era of college football. And in one week, the Sooners landed more 4-stars than the state of Oklahoma produced just a year ago – and both are cornerbacks. OU defensive backs coach Kerry Cooks earned his coffee today.
