And once again, Mater Dei High School is in the spotlight! Thanks to their former star, Zabien Brown, who turned Bama’s defensive fate. It’s a proud moment for the school as they watch the defensive back dominate the field and turn the tide for the Crimson Tide. Known for his precision, Brown even had a standout career in his high school days with his ability to excel in tackle effectively. Now that he is doing the same for Alabama Crimson Tide, his transition is a perfect example of Mater Dei’s legacy in producing elite athletes while also highlighting Brown’s determination to dominate at the collegiate level.

On November 22, the team shared a post on Instagram mentioning their “student-athletes of the week,” in which Brown was one of the other high-achieving players. Now how can the school leave any chance to make their former players’ accomplishments go unnoticed? So following this today, they put up a story on Instagram hyping their alumnus.

Well, Zabien Brown deserves this praise, as his exceptional gameplay not only gave Alabama an edge over Mercer last week but also helped their defense score points on their own for the very first time in the season. Surprising right? During the game, the 20-year-old returned the fumble made by Mercer for a 68-yard touchdown, making it Bama’s first non-offensive touchdown of this season. Now you can understand why it’s a big moment for both high school and CFB. However, this is not the first time that Zabien has done something out of the box.

Moreover, this is not the first time the team got a stellar performance from a true freshman during their showdown against the Georgia Bulldogs. Zabien was the one to score a game-winning interception for the team. Now you can understand why, being a freshman, he is one of the most valuable parts of the team.

But time he made a record for Bama and also gave them an immediate lead of 28-0 against Mercer in the second quarter of the game. Even Zabien Brown couldn’t resist expressing his happiness over his breathtaking performance. So, it’s not unusual for a freshman to make waves, right? After his big game, Zabien Brown was all smiles. He said, “It was great; everybody was just happy for me. I was happy to just have the opportunity.” As the team gears up for the pivotal showdown with Oklahoma, all eyes will be on Zabien to see if he can deliver another impressive performance and make his high school proud.
