Unanimous All-American tackle carrying on his father's legacy

Orlando Brown Jr. was born in Baltimore and played high school football at Peachtree Ridge in Suwanee, Georgia. A three-star prospect, he first committed to Tennessee before choosing Oklahoma.

After redshirting in 2014, Brown took over as the Sooners' starting left tackle in 2015 and never looked back. He was named Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year in both 2016 and 2017, and in 2017 he was a unanimous All-American and an Outland Trophy finalist while protecting Heisman winner Baker Mayfield on a team that reached the College Football Playoff.

The Baltimore Ravens drafted him in the third round (83rd overall) of the 2018 NFL draft, the same franchise his late father once played for. He made four straight Pro Bowls (2019–2022), spent 2021–2022 with the Kansas City Chiefs, and won Super Bowl LVII. He joined the Cincinnati Bengals in 2023 and re-signed with them on a two-year, $32 million contract on March 12, 2026.

As of October 8, 2026, Brown is an active offensive tackle for the Bengals.
