Not many outside of the Scottsdale Saguaro football program knew who Erik Brown was before Friday night.
The senior transfer from Texas was still feeling his way around in the season-opening win over Prescott, but made quite the impression in Week 2 against Tucson Sahuaro.
Brown, who starts at wide receiver and cornerback, averaged 43 yards per punt return on five attempts and returned two for scores in a 71-7 win.
On one of the touchdowns, Brown completely hurdled a defender on his way into the end zone.
“Not quite like that,” coach John Sanders said when asked if he’d seen a player jump completely over a defender. “He’s that kind of athlete. You don’t plan that.”
The video has hit YouTube for people to marvel at again.
Fans were going so crazy after the play, Sanders said, that “the stands almost fell down.”
