Whenever you transfer into a new school as an athlete, your playing time is determined by the impact you make within the program in a timely fashion. It’s also finding the role you fill to fit the plans of the staff you’re trying to impress.
Jaidyn Brown did that immediately from the day he stepped on campus as the new kid until the day he was named First Team all-district for San Marcos.
In the first game of the 2021 season, Brown went down with a concussion and was forced to sit out a week, unable to make his name known. But in his return against East Central the week after on Sept. 10, he recorded 22 carries for 209 yards and three touchdowns in San Marcos’ first win of the season. He wasn’t done there. His game-by-game performances left him with 1,452 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns in 10 games played while averaging an absurd 8.6 yards per carry. The junior also had seven games with 100 or more yards this season. His ground game helped San Marcos reach a playoff berth for the first time since the 2017 season.
