Equanimeous St. Brown 2018 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The Power Five scholarship offers were numerous for Equanimeous St. Brown<\/a><\/strong> coming out of high school. He received 25 in total, not too much of a surprise for a consensus top 20 wide receiver prospect. The Anaheim, CA native eventually gave his pledge to Notre Dame and was one of the final commits in Brian Kelly<\/a><\/strong>‘s 2015 recruiting class.<\/p>\n

St. Brown didn’t see much action as a true freshman, appearing in just seven games and registering one catch for eight yards all year. But he made an impact on special teams, blocking a punt that was eventually returned for a touchdown in the Irish’s 41-31 win over archrival USC on October 17th. A shoulder injury sustained in practice cut short his first season in South Bend as he missed the team’s final four games.<\/p>\n

It was the following season which saw St. Brown begin to figure more prominently into the offense. He became DeShone Kizer<\/a><\/strong>‘s favorite target, leading the team with 58 catches, 961 yards, and nine touchdowns. It included becoming the first Notre Dame receiver in seven years to have two touchdown catches of 65+ yards in a single game when he accomplished the feat in a win against Syracuse.<\/p>\n

One year later, St. Brown’s production dropped if anything due to the Irish becoming more of a run-first team with dual-threat quarterback Brandon Wimbush<\/a><\/strong>. That’s evident in the fact they finished seventh nationally in rushing yards a year after ranking 80th. St. Brown managed just 515 receiving yards and four touchdown grabs as a result. But that didn’t prevent him from foregoing his senior season and declaring for the draft.<\/p>\n
