Darrick Brown serves as Assistant Director of Academic Services with Rutgers Athletics after he joined the department in July of 2017. This is Brown’s second stint with Rutgers Athletics, as he previously worked within the academic department at the University from 2006-12.

Brown arrived in 2017 after a three-year stint at the University of Southern California, where he was the Assistant Athletic Director/Director of Student Support Services within USC Athletics. Among other responsibilities with the Trojans, Brown oversaw the Athlete Career Transition (ACT) program, which provided USC student-athletes with career panels, networking events, job shadows and internship opportunities.

Brown has also oversaw academics for football programs at the University of Miami (2013-14) and the University of Central Florida (2012-13) after his initial appointment with the Scarlet Knights.

Brown received his bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Maine in 2000, where he was a two-time all-conference selection as a return specialist for the Black Bear’s football team. Brown still co-owns the school record for most kick returns in a season with 28.
