Bentonville junior wide receiver CJ Brown added an Arkansas offer to his list during Saturday’s Prospect Day.
Brown, 6-1, 180 pounds, now holds offers from Arkansas, Louisville, Colorado State and Purdue.
He had 75 catches for 1,284 yards and 16 touchdowns last season, earning first-team 7A-West All-State honors. Brown had 31 receptions for 436 yards and 5 touchdowns as a sophomore.
“CJ had an excellent junior season,” Tigers coach Jody Grant said. “He was most definitely one of the top receivers in the state. Had 75 receptions and set our single-season receiving yards record this year. All this while often being double teamed.
“(He is) also a dangerous threat in the return game. Most importantly, a great teammate.”
Brown is one of eight in-state prospects in the 2024 class with an offer from Arkansas.
