Jermaine Brown Jr. is a Pass-Catching Back for UAB. Jermaine's 2023 season ranks in the 65th percentile nationally by opponent-adjusted EPA per play across 193 plays — a average rate for the RB.
Third-down weapon out of the backfield. Routes, hands, and separation in coverage define this role as much as rushing.
Top-10 nationally. Multiple mid-to-large collective deals expected.
Tier is a model estimate based on position, school brand, performance rank, and usage — not a reported deal. NIL deals are private. For a real market valuation, see On3's NIL profile, which factors in social following and actual deal tracking.
