Super Bowl champion A.J. Brown named Ole Miss Commencement speaker
OXFORD, Miss. (WJTV) – Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver and former Ole Miss Rebel A.J. Brown will speak at the University of Mississippi's 172nd annual Commencement on May 10, 2025. Brown, who won the Super Bowl with the Eagles, will deliver his speech at Convocation, set for 9:00 a.m. in the Grove. 'I remember being here at Ole Miss wondering what my future would look like, dreaming big but not really knowing what was ahead,' Brown said. 'To stand up there now, with experience, with some success under my belt and with the same hunger I had back then, it's a blessing. It means they see something in me worth sharing, something the next class can take with them. It's humbling, it's emotional and it's a reminder that no matter how far you go, never forget where you came from.' SEC announces appearance schedule for 2025 Football Media Days Before becoming a Rebel, the Starkville native excelled in baseball and football at Starkville High School. Brown holds multiple school records at Ole Miss, including being the school's all-time leading receiver with 2,984 receiving yards. He earned All-American and All-SEC honors during his record-setting career for the Rebels. The Tennessee Titans drafted Brown in the second round of the 2019 NFL draft. He helped the Titans to their first AFC championship game in 17 years. He was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2022. Besides his athletic accomplishments, Brown is an active advocate for literacy, youth empowerment and mental health awareness. He launched the A.J. Brown Foundation in 2023 to offer programming, mentorship and scholarships aimed at helping young people achieve success. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox.
