Devin Brown ’12, a guard on the men’s basketball team at the College of the Holy Cross, was profiled by his hometown paper, The Baltimore Sun, for his “status as one of Baltimore’s top college basketball players” and his role as a “model student-athlete at [an] academically rigorous institution.”
Brown, a psychology major with a prebusiness concentration, said it was the academic reputation of Holy Cross that made him decide to enroll. “One thing about Holy Cross is that academically, I’ll be graduating with a degree that will make me competitive in the work force. I would be surrounded by a lot of smart individuals. That was something that was really important to me. I was fortunate enough to learn early on that the basketball won’t bounce forever. I wanted to focus on basketball for as long as possible with a good athletic program, and also really establish myself academically as well. That’s kind of how I came to the decision,” he told the Sun.
Milan Brown, head basketball coach, says Brown is equally committed to basketball and academics. “He goes just as hard going for 30 points as he does in [in the classroom].”
Last season, Brown averaged a team-best 15.6 points, reaching double figures 21 times.
