Brown to Attend Elite Student-Athlete Symposium, Sept. 7-9
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Senior guard Barry Brown, Jr., has been selected to attend the NCAA Elite Men's Basketball Student-Athlete Symposium set for September 7-9 at the NCAA headquarters in Indianapolis.
This is the third year for the symposium, which is designed for men's basketball student-athletes who have an interest in continuing their playing careers professionally. It will mark the second consecutive year that a Wildcat player has participated in the symposium, as Brown follows teammate Dean Wade who attended in 2017.
A product of the NCAA Leadership Development program, the symposium is intended to educate college players on the expectations and responsibilities of being a professional athlete as well as planning post-professional career opportunities. Among the features of the forum will be a former student-athlete panel, agent and players' union discussions, engagement with professional leagues and a seminar on personal branding.
An All-Big 12 Second Team and All-Defensive Team selection a season ago, Brown started all 37 games for a K-State squad that won 25 games and advanced to the Elite Eight for the first time in eight seasons in 2017-18. He averaged 15.9 points, 3.2 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 34.7 minutes per game.
The product of St. Petersburg, Florida enters his senior season in 2018-19 having seen action in all 105 career games at K-State with 83 consecutive starts. He ranks 12th all-time in scoring with 1,283 points after becoming the 28th player in school history to eclipse 1,000 career points midway through the 2017-18 season.
