Michael Brown-Stephens News, Rumors, Updates - South Florida Bulls | FOX Sports

Scores in opener Brown-Stephens accrued two receptions (on three targets) for 27 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 48-3 victory versus Bethune-Cookman.

Impact Brown-Stephens scored a 15-yard touchdown in the third quarter, a nice way to open up his 2024 campaign. The pass came from backup quarterback Bryce Archie, as Brown-Stephens and starting quarterback Byrum Brown only connected once. His lack of connection with Brown is of slight concern, but the Bulls did not need to throw the ball much versus the FCS opponent so it's hard to gauge how they will fare together versus tougher opponents.

Another solid outing Saturday Brown-Stephens gathered in 5 of 6 targets for 73 yards during Saturday's 59-50 loss against Memphis.

Impact While Brown-Stephens was one of the few Bulls to not find the endzone Saturday he still had a productive outing. After recording just one reception through the first four weeks of the season, in the last five games he has caught 25 passes (on 38 targets) for 338 yards and two touchdowns, quietly becoming one of Byrum Brown's favorite targets. He will look to continue his hot streak Saturday versus Temple.

Another productive outing Saturday Brown-Stephens gathered in 9 of 13 targets for 92 yards during Saturday's 24-21 victory against Connecticut.

Impact Brown-Stephens went for over 90 yards for the second straight game Saturday, but his volume was the real story. He was targeted 13 times and made nine receptions, more than double his previous season high. He has found his stride with Byrum Brown in the past few weeks and will look to take that momentum beyond the bye week and into Memphis on Nov. 4.

Impact As a backup receiver for the 2022 Gophers, Brown-Stephens logged 22 receptions for 338 yards across 11 games. Those numbers were slightly down from his sophomore season, and the future senior will look to use his final year of eligibility to maximize how good he can be.

Steps into top role Brown-Stephens caught all six of his passes for 73 yards during Saturday's 34-7 win over Michigan State.

Impact Brown-Stephens made a big splash during Saturday's win after failing to haul in his lone target against Colorado last week. The redshirt junior appeared to step up into the Golden Gophers' top pass-catching role with Chris Autman-Bell (lower leg) set to miss the remainder of the season, finishing as the top target for quarterback Tanner Morgan (23-of-26 passing, 268 yards, three touchdowns) on Saturday. Brown-Stephens averaged three receptions, 53.5 yards and four targets between Weeks 1 and 2, but his production should take a jump as Minnesota's most experienced wideout moving forward.

Exits after hit to head Brown-Stephens left Thursday's loss to Ohio State in the fourth quarter after taking a hard hit to the head after making a catch. He had two receptions for 35 yards on three target...

Impact Brown-Stephens was able to walk off under his own power but he looked like he may have suffered a concussion. He was hit in the head by a defender on a tackle that could have been called targeting, but it was ruled a legal play that caused Brown-Stephens to lose a fumble. Brown-Stephens had a higher profile in the offense with Chris Autman-Bell missing the game with an ankle injury.
