Marquise ”Hollywood” Brown (born June 4, 1997) is an American football wide receiver for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Oklahoma.

College career

After not receiving any scholarships from Division 1 schools, Brown signed with the College of the Canyons for the 2016 season. Because California Junior colleges do not offer sports scholarships, Brown worked at Six Flags Magic Mountain to make ends meet.[1] After a year at College of the Canyons, Brown received several Division 1 scholarship offers, committing to Oklahoma.[2] During his first year at Oklahoma, Brown played all thirteen games, starting eight, and had a team high 1,095 receiving yards, becoming the 8th all time receiver in single season yards. He also posted 265 yards against Oklahoma State, an Oklahoma record for receiving yards in a single game.[3] On January 2, 2019, Brown announced that he would forgo his final year of eligibility to declare for the 2019 NFL Draft.[4]
