Brown accumulated 1,181 yards and 15 touchdowns, carrying the ball 244 times in 16 games, including the playoffs.
The 5-foot-11 running back, originally from Nebraska, was the recipient of the Jerry Rice Award, which is given annually to the top FCS freshman. He recorded four 100-yard games.
Miami's returning running backs include Mark Fletcher and Jordan Lyle. Fletcher rushed for 607 yards and nine touchdowns last season, while Lyle contributed 400 yards and four touchdowns.
