The 52-year-old played his college football with Penn State before spending eight seasons in the NFL with several teams, including the Charges and Giants.
He had also been a running backs coach for the NFL’s Cowboy and Browns, as well as Big Ten foe Rutgers.
Several Badgers chimed in Sunday night on Twitter, mourning Brown’s death.
“This one hurts,” said running back Braelon Allen. “Rest easy coach.”
Linebacker Collin Wilder shared a video of Brown, saying it was “Just a small sample of the light [he] was to everyone around him.”
According to his UW Athletics profile, Brown leaves behind a wife, Kim; daughters Malena and Dorianna; and son Tre.
