6'3" / 205 lbs Rankings: Other Offers: Mississippi, UCF, Florida Atlantic, Georgia Southern, Temple, Tulane, Vanderbilt, Western Kentucky, Wisconsin Notes: "physical safety that in all likelihood may end up as an outside linebacker for the next level" ... "athletically gifted, but technically raw and unpolished" ... "covers a lot of ground quickly" ... "powerful tackler" who makes "big hits" but sometimes ends up "lunging and missing in space" Quotables: "Coach (Vincent) Brown was talking to me and I asked him what I would be playing. He said I can try whatever I want. I'm not sure what offensive position I could play in that type of offense but I know he wants me to play linebacker. I think linebacker is where I'd be the best fit." "Virginia has proven everyone wrong and last night [against Florida State] was no different. ... I can't wait to begin my career there" |

Possibly the most underrated recruit in this class
It is difficult to say why he is underrated, and why he wasn’t more highly recruited. This is a tall, rangy kid who should excel in a 2 deep zone. He has enough size to come up and be a factor in run support, plus he has the speed and height to play the deep ball.
It is possible that Brim bulks up and becomes a LB (see: Reynolds, LaRoy), but I actually think Brim is better suited as a safety. Especially with safety being a need position for the Hoos, Brim may get on the field this year. He could also be a factor in special teams this year. I expect Brim to be one the leader of our defense in a couple of years.
