Byrum Brown, a redshirt Sophomore quarterback for South Florida, has shown remarkable prowess in the Pro Spread offense. Brown stands out as the only returning QB in the Group of Five conferences who posted an adjusted completion percentage over 72% (72.4%) and an average depth of target over 10.5 yards (10.9) last season. Known for his slippery agility, Brown's dynamic playmaking ability has been a cornerstone for the Bulls. Unfortunately, his season took a downturn when he suffered a leg injury during the 3rd quarter of South Florida's 45-10 loss to Tulane.
