Ole Miss signee says 'it's personal' against Mississippi State
Ole Miss wide receiver signee AJ Brown isn’t too shy about his feelings for Mississippi State.
Brown was critical of Dan Mullen following National Signing Day, and he later deleted a tweet directed at Mullen.
“I’m the bad guy of Starkville now … Ask coach Mullen how many times he came and saw me I can count on one hand. I could careless honestly.”
Brown followed it up with this:
Yall can call me names or whatever but I made this decision for me . Remember… For the ones who put me last are going to feel me first .😝💯

Brown, who lettered at Starkville High School and was rated as the No. 5 WR according to 247Sports Composite, chose rival Ole Miss instead of the Bulldogs and the Crimson Tide this past recruiting cycle, and he says “it’s personal” against Mississippi State in 2016, according to Scout.com. His freshman goals are quite simple.
“I want to be a Freshman All-American, period,” Brown told Scout.com. “I want to have a breakout game against Florida State. I especially want to have one against Mississippi State. I want at least four touchdowns against them. It’s personal.”
Brown is a big-time player at 6-foot-1, 220 pounds, and he certainly could have a big future in Oxford, especially with the quarterback talent already on campus.
“My size and strength allows me to be more physical than anyone I go up against,” he said. “I can catch the ball in traffic and make tough catches. I have really strong hands. Just being a competitor at the highest level. I love to lay out defenders while blocking too. Truthfully, I get more pleasure out of pancaking someone that anything else. I just love going up against the best defensive backs in the country. It raises my level of play. I just like to compete.”
Brown will play both football and baseball for the Rebels. You can read the full interview here.
Love the enthusiasm but maybe save the trash talk and just show your resentment on the field. No need to start problems 6 months out lol
I want to preface this with a statement that I am not throwing this as a rumor, accusation, or anything of the sort. I’m just curious if you guys are worried that some of these 4 and 5 stars recruited over the past year or two might not find themselves under some significant scrutiny after the latest series of accusations against you guys.
Nope. They’ve been investigating for 3 years now. It wouldn’t be practical to set up shop for every single recruiting class a school brings in.
Maybe it’s real, maybe just a chip on his shoulder. Who knows? Sounds like Mullen hurt his feelings.
Yeah dude, if you’re from Starkville and go to Ole Miss you’re going to be the bad guy. Alabama offered you and is closer to your hometown, so why not go there? And if you score 4 touchdowns against MSST this year you think you’ll be the toast of the town? Can’t stand this guy’s mouth can’t wait until Peters blasts his a$$ one good time
You think Peters is gonna start this year (serious question)?
Did he say start?Cocaine is a helluva drug,lol…
Talk Talk Talk Talk,lol.Thats all he’s doing!He might end being a backup!
He’d start at State for sure. He might redshirt this year at Ole Miss. There is a bit of a talent difference on offense right now
I wanna see how he feels after going over the middle “Catching balls in traffic” once he gets his turn.. Gator arms (No pun) are usually common amongst freshman’s with big mouths…
Well this guy seems pretty full of himself for someone who’s not played a college or an sec game. I guess we’ll see. Seems like Mullen hurt his feelings or something lol. And if you are playing against a good defense back you better have a good qb – big and good hands don’t mean shyte if the ball’s not catchable.
Titty baby, hope Kelly plants one on him right in front of Richie Brown.
When you say “you could careless ” you’re saying you actually care. Good job.
What an arrogant prick. Seems like OM was a perfect fit.
I’m.guessing he’s pi$$ed about something State said they wouldn’t do.
salty
Reb grad here…but I am tired of recruits that have not even broke a huddle in college talking trash. Why not accomplish something first then talk ?
Yeah, I agree that this kid should shut his mouth and prove his worth on the football field. Treadwell wasn’t one to run his mouth and look how his career went so A.J, Brown needs to chill out and respect the SEC!
Kids going to be a good one.
