His performances since his rookie year and especially in the 2023 season have helped the Lions team reach new heights.

He then decided to join the University of Southern California (USC) for his higher education where he spent three years from 2018 to 2020. At the time, he played on the USC Trojans football team where he received consistent game time from his freshman year. In three years of college football, St. Brown finished with 2,270 receiving yards and 16 receiving touchdowns. His junior year was cut short to just 6 games due to the Covid-19 restrictions.

His athletic ability allows him to win the contested balls and his height is sufficient enough to make some difficult overhead receptions as well. Currently, St. Brown is getting more and more recognition in the league as he continues to develop and is seen by many among the elite receivers in today’s game.
