CHARLOTTESVILLE — Name the college football power and, chances are, Andrew Brown was on its recruiting list.
Offers came from Alabama, Clemson, Florida State. Michigan, Penn State and the list went on and on.
Brown and his Tidewater-area neighbor, Quin Blanding, were five-star recruits (on a five-star scale) when they signed with UVa in the winter of 2014.
As opposed to Blanding, who started every game in his first three seasons and is a two-time All-ACC choice, Brown was an afterthought, starting a total of one game in his first two seasons and registering six tackles.
For most of that time, Brown was at odds with former UVa defensive coordinator Jon Tenuta, and was lost in the shuffle when head coach Mike London and his staff were fired after the 2015 season.
All Brown did when removed from Tenuta’s yoke last year was lead the team in tackles for loss with 13, including six sacks, joining Micah Kiser (6 ½) as the only players with more than one.
“I think he arrived out of necessity because of the need to have talented and older players on the field,” second-year UVa coach Bronco Mendenhall said Wednesday
“I think last year exposed where he’s strong and where he needs improvement. I think he’s maturing and developing into being an every-down player.
“I think that’s probably what a lot of folks expected and wanted earlier in his career, but it’s coming. [Cornerback] Tim Harris, who was injured a year ago, is following a similar road.”
Brown, listed at 6 foot 4 and 285 pounds, certainly passed the eye test as he did interviews after practice Wednesday.
He will be playing for his third defensive-line coach in three seasons with the departure of Ruffin McNeill, who resigned to join the staff at Oklahoma and was replaced by Vic So’oto, who, as a graduate assistant, worked with the D-line last year.
“To be honest with you, not too much has changed,” Brown said. “I love [So’Oto] to death. He’s the total package. He’s everything. If he needs to be on you, he’s on you, but he’s encouraging, too. Not just bash, bash, bash.”
Brown felt the 2016 season saved his career.
“Most definitely,” he said. “I feel like a different player, the reason being that I got a lot of plays. That’s what I needed to do. I needed to make a lot of plays to get the film that’s necessary for the [NFL] scouts.
“The thing is, I always had the ability. Circumstances were the problem, I feel. I had the opportunity to show what I could do [last year] and I did it.”
His goal for this year is 10-plus sacks and feels that he will benefit from the different schemes that UVa’s staff has been implementing.
“It will be a lot easier because the offense won’t know what’s coming,” he said.
Upon their signing, Brown and Blanding became the first five-star recruits to come into the program since offensive lineman Eugene Monroe in 2005.
“I’m still pleased about it,” Brown said. “I never look down on my accolades. I feel like it was well-deserved and that I put in the time. I feel like those first two years of college, being humbled and being put me down to Ground Zero, it helped build my character.
“I just had to get the job done.”
Brown, who played at Oscar Smith High School in Chesapeake, goes way back with Blanding, a product of Bayside High in Virginia Beach.
“Like they say, it always starts up front,” Blanding said. “That’s how you win the game. With Micah and me, we’ve got to stop the pass, but it starts up front.
“Drew’s a big leader for us up there. He’s teaching the young boys and taking them under his wing.”
Brown does not lack for inspiration. As he spoke with reporters, he was wearing a gold chain with the number “9” dangling from it. His mother died from cardiac arrest Dec. 9, 2007, and he has worn the No. 9 uniform in her honor.
“She died working hard for me and my sister,” he said. “Who am I not to make sure that her legacy lives on? That’s my motivation.”
