ATLANTA — There’s no denying the immense and immediate effect that Cornelious Brown IV had on Georgia State’s offense in 2020. The dual threat’s 24 total touchdowns led a Panther attack that averaged a school-record 33.3 points per game, including a 39-point performance in the program’s second bowl victory.
With a load of returning talent at every offensive position around him, the 2020 LendingTree Bowl MVP is looking to lead his team to new heights in 2021. As good as Brown was last season, he sees plenty of untapped potential in himself – potential he will need to capitalize on if he wants to continue elevating.
