Brown Focused, Determined at Hargrave

Almost one month into his Hargrave experience, Philip Brown continues to make the most of his opportunity.

After signing with Virginia in February of 2003, the 5-11, 185 pound cornerback withdrew from Phoebus to enroll in Fork Union Military Academy. He withdrew from Fork Union a few weeks later, re-emerging at Heritage High School. There, he took Algebra and English over the summer and received A’s in both courses.

His focus sharper than ever, Brown is making the most of his Hargrave experience.

“I wish I was here a long time ago, and I’m just trying to make the most of it right now,” said Brown. “I’m just in a good situation. I’m glad that I was able to get a second chance. Coach Prunty and all the coaches have really pushed me and I’m definitely a better player than I was in high school. I’m just happy to be here, getting my academics squared away. I’ve been really focused on that. Whenever I’m not practicing, I’m studying. Whenever I’m not studying, I’m practicing.”
