Max Brown News, Rumors, Updates - West Virginia Mountaineers

Records snaps in season finale Brown was 1-for-3 passing for seven yards and one interception during Saturday's 49-0 defeat versus Texas Tech.

Impact Brown logged some snaps for just the second time this season as West Virginia was blown out by Texas Tech. West Virginia saw some success with Scotty Fox, so that will be their likely option at the position in 2026. Brown does have remaining eligibility and could return to play with the Mountaineers or somewhere else.

Available for Saturday Brown is off the injury report ahead of Saturday's game at UCF, per the Big 12 availability report.

Impact Brown, who has been battling an undisclosed injury over the past few weeks, is now off the injury report and available. He likely won't play given his place on the depth chart, but it's still good to have him healthy.

OCTOBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Probable ahead of Week 8 Brown (undisclosed) is probable as West Virginia preps to face Central Florida, per Keenan Cummings of Rivals.com.

Impact Brown played a handful of snaps against Utah, but that's the only action the redshirt junior gunslinger has seen thus far. With Jaylen Henderson (undisclosed) doubtful, the Mountaineers appear to be trending towards starting Khalil Wilkins once again, although quarterback has been anyone's guess in Morgantown in 2025.

OCTOBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call Friday Brown (undisclosed) is a game-time call for Friday's game against BYU.

Impact Brown will be a game-time call, but even if he suits up, he's not expected to make an impact in WVU's passing game.

OCTOBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Status uncertain Brown (undisclosed) has been listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against BYU.

Impact Brown, who briefly appeared in last week's 48-14 loss against Utah, has been listed as questionable due to undisclosed reasons. The 6-foot-2 redshirt junior transfer from Charlotte is buried within the Mountaineers' depth chart at quarterback, but if he were to sit out against the Cougars, West Virginia would be even thinner at the position following Nicco Marchiol's foot injury.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 19 rushing yards Brown was 0-for-0 passing for zero yards during Saturday's 48-14 loss against Utah. He rushed for 19 yards on two attempts.

Impact Brown was one of four quarterbacks to see action for the Mountaineers against Utah. It was his first game action of the year. West Virginia will play at BYU next week.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dressed and available Saturday Brown (undisclosed) is dressed and available to face Ohio on Saturday, according to Blue Gold News.

Impact Brown will be available for this contest, but his chances of seeing playing time are almost non-existent. He's the third-string quarterback at the moment behind Nicco Marchiol and Jaylen Henderson.

SEPTEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with hamstring injury Brown is dealing with a hamstring injury and is still working his way back to full participation, per 247Sports.com.

Impact Brown didn't dress for Week 1, but he's the third string quarterback at the moment anyway behind Nicco Marchiol and Jaylen Henderson. Brown reportedly hasn't been a full participant at practice, and he may not reach that level of participation this week.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not dressed for Week 1 Brown (undisclosed) is not dressed for Saturday's game against Robert Morris, Blue Gold News reports.

Impact It appears that Brown is still tending to an undisclosed injury, first revealed less than a week ago. Even with him available, the Mountaineers already named their starting quarterback between Nicco Marchiol and Jaylen Henderson, the former winning out.

AUGUST 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Tending to injury Brown is dealing with an undisclosed injury, Mark Podolski of The News Herald reports.

Impact Brown appears to be behind Jaylen Henderson and Nicco Marchiol on the Mountaineers' depth chart, and he's currently tending to an undisclosed injury. Brown transferred into the program from Charlotte, where he logged 561 passing yards and a 3:6 TD:INT across five games.

Headed to Morgantown Brown has announced his commitment to West Virginia, On3.com reports.

Impact Brown will make the move to West Virginia after spending one season in Charlotte. The 6-foot-3 redshirt sophomore, who started his collegiate career at Florida, threw for 561 yards (43-of-93), three touchdowns and six interceptions during his time with the 49ers, adding on 72 rushing yards.

JANUARY 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Entering transfer portal Brown (transfer portal) has entered the NCAA transfer portal, per Mike Farrell of MikeFarrellSports.com.

Impact Brown will re-enter the transfer portal following a single season with Charlotte. The redshirt sophomore quarterback lost the starting job to fellow signal caller Deshawn Purdie in late October and hasn't impressed in his appearances since. Brown will have two years of eligibility at his next destination.

NOVEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Shut down in bench appearance Brown completed 2 of 10 passes for three yards during Thursday's 34-3 loss against Tulane. He also had three rushes for 25 yards.

Impact Brown replaced starter Deshawn Purdie in the fourth quarter of Thursday's game and struggled massively. He completed just two of his 10 passes for only three yards, although he added 25 yards on the ground. Purdie struggled against the tough Tulane defense too as he threw a pick-six and completed under 50 percent of his passes. The 49ers are leaving Thursday's blowout loss with more questions than answers at the quarterback position, but regardless of who starts after the bye, the position group is best avoided for fantasy managers.

NOVEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Friday Brown will revert to backup quarterback as DeShawn Purdie will start under center Friday versus Tulane, Hunter Bailey of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Brown will watch from the sidelines again after getting benched at halftime in last week's loss to Memphis. The 6-foot-3 quarterback has only been healthy for four games this season, but it appears the team doesn't believe he's been performing up to par as Purdie will get the start in Friday night's matchup.

OCTOBER 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Benched at halftime Brown completed 4 of 8 passes for 38 yards and one interception during Saturday's 33-28 loss versus Memphis.

Impact Brown started Saturday's game but after a quiet first half he was benched for Deshawn Purdie. Purdie did not play particularly well either, so it's unclear what the 49ers will do on Thursday versus Tulane.

OCTOBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will continue to be starting QB Brown will be the 49ers' starting quarterback for their game Saturday at Memphis, Hunter Bailey of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Brown threw three interceptions and fumbled once during the 49ers' game in Week 8. Despite his struggles, the 49ers' lack of better options have resorted them to using Brown again under center. There were some positives from his Week 8 performance though, including seven completions for 152 yards and two touchdowns to go with 18 carries for 67 yards.

OCTOBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in return Brown was 7-for-18 passing for 152 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions during Saturday's 51-17 defeat versus Navy. He also had 18 rushes for 67 yards.

Impact Brown made his first start since Week 2 Saturday after missing the last four games with a thumb injury. He struggled in his return as he failed to complete 40 percent of his passes and threw three interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns. He did toss two touchdowns and run for 67 yards, but his inefficiency hurt his performance and his team's. He faces a more favorable matchup Saturday at Memphis.

OCTOBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start Saturday Brown (thumb) is set to start Saturday's game at Navy, The Mineshaft on X reports.

Impact Brown is set to make his return to the field in a tough matchup at Navy. He has missed the last four games with a thumb injury but appears to be in line to start versus the Midshipmen.

OCTOBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Could return Saturday Brown (thumb) could play during UNC Charlotte's game Saturday at the United States Naval Academy, Hunter Bailey of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact While UNC Charlotte's head coach Bill Poggi did not make it clear whether or not Brown is available Saturday, there is at least an adequate chance the quarterback plays then. In that case, there is also a possibility he serves as the 49ers' starting QB against the Navy. However, Brown being available does not mean him starting is guaranteed, especially with Deshawn Purdie serving up some decent performances during his injured teammate's absence.
