Royal Palm Beach defensive back/wide receiver Da’Von Brown will stay close to home to play college football.
The three-star recruit has committed to FAU, Wildcats assistant coach Elton Gilkes confirmed Monday.
Brown, ranked No. 10 on PBgametime’s 2016 Big Board, holds offers from South Alabama, Cincinnati, Colorado State and South Florida, among others.
“We are extremely proud of Da’Von, Gilkes said. “We knew he had tremendous ability as a sophomore, and with all of his hard-work, determination, and commitment, he became not only a great player, but matured into a wonderful young man along the way.
“As a coaching staff, we are proud to see Da’Von continue his dream of playing football.”
Brown finished with more than 600 yards of offense and six touchdowns this season. On defense, he recorded 77 tackles with two interceptions. Both were returned for touchdowns.
Brown is the latest Palm Beach County football standout to commit to FAU.
He joins Oxbridge Academy junior defensive back Traivon Leonard, who committed to the Owls Dec. 2, and American Heritage senior linebacker Lawrence Graham, who announced his commitment to FAU in June.
