Chase Brown

2013 Scholarship Winner

Winter Haven High School

Football

University of South Florida

Chase Brown (AAO '13) was seriously injured with a ruptured spleen when playing starting cornerback at Winter Haven High School during the last practice before the first game of his freshman year of football. After emergency surgery and two weeks in the hospital, his sporting life was changed forever. All sports were off-limits for the remainder of his high school years and fresh and salt-water fishing became his passion. He has worked various jobs during high school and now owns his own fishing boat. Chase will attend the University of South Florida in Tampa, FL and work as a manager of the football team this fall.
