Fadol Brown – Senior

Brown is a starter if he can get healthy, but according to Coach Freeze, there have been some setbacks with Brown’s recovery from a foot injury.

Brown could miss the first game of the season, but should be able to play early in the season. This is one injury that worries me greatly. Brown is a vital defender for the Rebels and will be needed to defeat some of the elite SEC teams.

Brown is looking good out in his boot, but can he recover in time for the beginning of SEC play? That is something we will have to wait and see.
