STILLWATER, Okla. - After his performance in lifting Oklahoma State to victory over No. 8 Texas A&M in College Station, cornerback Brodrick Brown was recognized today as the Jim Thorpe Defensive Back of the Week.
He logged eight tackles and an interception and broke up two passes in lifting the Cowboys to a 30-29 come-from- behind win over the favored Aggies.
In addition to a key interception in the third quarter, Brown also deflected the pass that ended up being intercepted by teammate James Thomas to seal the Cowboys victory on Texas A&M's final drive of the game.
The 5-foot-8 Brown was matched up with Texas A&M star receiver Jeff Fuller for most of the day and limited the 6-foot-4 Aggie standout to six catches for 55 yards despite giving up eight inches of height.
