Brown Earns Nomination for Allstate AFCA Good Works Team

DURANT, Okla. – Southeastern running back DJ Brown is one a record 178 nominees for the 2024 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team which features players and coaches from across the country and at every four-year collegiate level.
 
Brown, a junior from Leonard, Texas, becomes the fourth Savage Storm player in the last eight seasons to earn a nomination to the team, with Caleb High and Kaymon Farmer each earning spots on the final Good Works Team, while Joel Carlos was also nominated.
 
He put together 641 yards and four touchdowns on the ground in his first season with the Storm and added 94 yards and two scores receiving on his way to a second team all-GAC honor.
 
Off the field, Brown has been an academic All-GAC selection and will be the president of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee for the upcoming season.
 
He has worked with the Green Bandana Project to highlight and provide support for mental health issues, serves on the School of Business Advisory Committee, is a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and has volunteered with the Oklahoma Special Olympics.
 
Established in 1992, the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team recognizes college football athletes for their unwavering commitment to community service and their "good works" off the field. This year's 178 nominees champion causes including mental health awareness, youth mentorship, hunger relief, domestic abuse prevention, and many more. In addition to being actively involved with a charitable organization or service group, each player must also maintain strong academic standing to be considered for a spot on the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team.
 
 "You'll never regret making someone else's life better," said Tim Tebow, two-time national champion, Heisman Trophy winner, 2008 Wuerffel Trophy recipient, and 2009 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team member. "Year after year, I'm inspired by these incredible nominees who go above and beyond to help others."
 
 The final roster of 23 award recipients announced later in September will bring together:
 
11 players from the NCAA FBS
11 players from the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), Divisions II, III and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA)
1 honorary head coach
 
All members are selected by a voting panel of former Allstate AFCA Good Works Team members, current and former head coaches and journalists who look for exceptional leadership on and off the football field.
