College career
Brown joined Florida as a freshman, and in his first season was used mostly in a bench role. Brown had to fight for minutes considering the Gators having one of the strongest backcourts in the country with Walter Clayton Jr., Alijah Martin, and Will Richard.[6] The Gators went on to win the 2025 national championship, with Brown contributing in a rotational role and playing in several games during the tournament.
In 2025, Brown once again had to fight for his role in the team, as transfers such as Xaivian Lee, Boogie Fland, and Brown's brother AJ filled the backcourt.[7] However, Brown saw significantly more playing time and saw his role increase to regularly being the second man off the bench.
