“It was a pleasure to be honored by Louisiana as one of its top players. I'm just glad my hard work in the offseason has finally paid off. I just hope that I can repeat this again next season, as well as win the Southwestern Athletic Conference Championship,” said Brown.
 
Brown is no stranger to awards, as he was selected the 2012 SWAC Hitter of the Year. Brown led the league in hitting (.412) and triples (7). He slid into second in slugging for the conference with an average of .601; .472 on base percentage and 15 doubles.
