The Oklahoma State product has spent all three of his CFL seasons in Winnipeg. The American pivot took a big step forward in his career in 2023 while filling in for an injured Zach Collaros. While dressing for all 18 games, Brown won both of his starts last season on his way to completing 62 of 89 passes for 983 yards, nine touchdowns and no interceptions.
The REDBLACKS also announced on Thursday that the team has signed receiver Bralon Addison to a one-year extension.
