Brown to be inducted Friday
Allen Brown of Lake St. John will be inducted into the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame Friday in Jackson.
The induction will take place at the Jackson Marriot at 7 p.m.
On Saturday, Brown will be part of Meet the Inductees at the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Brown helped lead Ole Miss to a 19-4-1 regular season mark from 1962-64, competing in two Sugar Bowls and a Bluebonnet Bowl.
He was an All-American in 1964 and all-Southeastern Conference in 1963 and in 1964. He played in the 1964 Blue-Gray Game and 1965 Chicago All-Star Game and Senior Bowl. In his sophomore and junior years at Natchez-Adams High, the Rebels won the South Big 8 championship.
Brown was recruited by Ole Miss, LSU, Alabama, Mississippi State, Tulane, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Tennessee and Arkansas.Brown played end and linebacker for the Rebels.
Ole Miss completed a perfect 10-0 season in 1962 with a 17-13 win over Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl. That team finished ranked third, behind Southern Cal and Wisconsin.
"That was quite a team," Brown said. "We didn't believe anybody could beat us. But that was the time of integration at Ole Miss, and that took away a lot of the attention."
The Rebels went 7-1-2 in 1963, falling to Steve Sloan and Alabama 12-7 in the Sugar Bowl. That team finished No. 7 in the nation.
Brown led the team in receiving that season, catching 16 passes for 221 yards, with most coming from Natchez High teammate Perry Lee Dunn.
Brown was co-captain of the 1964 Ole Miss team. Brown played in the 1965 Senior Bowl, catching two passes from Joe Namath. Brown was also selected for the 1965 Chicago All-Star Game, but an injury forced him to miss the game.
Brown's injury kept him playing for Vince Lombardi and Green Bay his rookie year of 1965.
Brown, who was a third-round draft pick of the Packers as the 38th player taken, was also drafted in the third round by the San Diego Chargers of newly-organized American Football League.
The Browns have lived on Lake St. John for 15 years. Allen has served on the Lake St. John Advisory Board. |
