Mesa CC Safety Derron Brown commits to the California Golden Bears!

Needless to say, our defensive secondary is in dire need for improvement. That may come in the form of our newest JUCO commit at safety, Derron Brown!

Mesa CC DB @DerronBrown_ told us three weeks ago he was close to committing to #Cal, just confirmed to us he finally pulled the trigger.

Check out Brown's highlights from his year at Mesa Community College at his Hudl page and we'll have a more in-depth look in the coming weeks.

Brown has three years of eligibility to play the next three seasons and should provide immediate depth at a position of need. He wasn't recruited much coming out of high school due to a smaller frame, but he's grown since then up to a 6'2, 195 pound frame with a 4.45 40 yard dash. That just screams safety, and the Bears could use plenty of depth at the position with Michael Lowe graduating and ... well, we need safeties. A lot of them. Preferably in bunches of three.

This is a good early offseason pickup, and hopefully the first of many.

Welcome to the 3rd-best global university, Derron!
