Athletes Of The Week

Adrion “AJ” Brown

Junior, Fairfield Football

“Junior AJ Brown made the most of his first start of the season, turning in a historic performance in Fairfield’s thrilling 46-41 playoff victory over the Mason Comets. AJ carried the ball 26 times for 184 yards, averaging more than 7 yards per carry, and found the end zone 3 times, including explosive touchdown runs of 80 and 58 yards. His speed, determination, and energy electrified the crowd and powered the Indians to their fifth home win of the season. AJ’s journey makes this moment even more special — he’s battled back from a traumatic leg injury that sidelined him for all of last year. Through unbelievable hard work and perseverance, AJ has returned stronger than ever and is showcasing his tremendous talent. The future is bright for this outstanding junior as he looks ahead to the 2026 season.” Coach Justin Roden
