While the football season is still three months away, a Texas State player is already being recognized.

Prestin Brown, who will play for the Bobcats beginning this fall, has been named to the USA Junior National Football team.

Brown is a 6-foot-3, 242-pound defensive end from Grand Prairie High School.

“Prestin Brown is a good, smart football player who has all the qualities, both athletically and academically, that we look for when we recruit,” Texas State head coach Brad Wright said.

Brown starred on the gridiron while also earning letters in wrestling and track in each of the past three years. The strong-side defensive end is a National Honor Society member.

“We are extremely proud to have Prestin selected to play for USA Football’s Junior National Team and we’re honored to have him represent Texas State in Canton,” Wright said.

USA Football, an independent non-profit and the sport’s national governing body on youth and amateur levels, has built America’s first Junior National Team in the sport to compete in the eight-nation, four-continent 2009 International Federation of American Football (IFAF) Junior World Championship in Canton, Ohio, from June 27-July 5.

National football teams from Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand and Sweden have qualified to join the United States to pursue the sport’s first world championship on the international junior level (19 and under).

USA Football’s Junior National Team is led by Chuck Kyle, head coach of Cleveland St. Ignatius High School, who has led his Wildcats to 10 of Ohio’s past 21 state titles.

Kyle has also led his team to two USA Today “national championships.”
