Brown was also a dependable defensive player at second, finishing with a .961 fielding percentage and just 30 errors in four seasons. As a senior in 2010, he was honored for his defense and earned a spot on the Gold Glove South Region Team.

In the summer of 2010, Brown signed on to play with the Pensacola Pelicans, an independent minor league team in the American Association. In 58 games with the Pelicans, Brown hit .250 with a .364 on-base percentage. He also scored 27 runs while driving in 15.
