Biography
Browning was considered a top-10 overall prospect after garnering Texas 4A Defensive Player of the Year honors as a senior at Kennedale High School. The Fort Worth native started three of 12 games in 2018 (23 tackles, 3.5 for loss) after playing 12 games purely as a backup his true freshman season (14 tackles, 1.5 for loss). He started only one game at inside linebacker in 2019, but still contributed 43 tackles, 10 for loss, with five sacks in 12 contests on a stellar defense. He moved outside as a senior, starting five of seven games (30 tackles, three for loss, with one sack, two pass breakups, two forced fumbles), garnering third-team All-Big Ten accolades to help the Buckeyes win the conference title and advance to the national title game. He accepted an invitation to the Senior Bowl. Browning's father, Barry, was a starting defensive back at TCU and his brother, Barry Jr., played football at Stanford. -- by Chad Reuter
