Football: Former BYU star's brother commits to UNLV
Curtis Brown was a star running back for BYU a few years ago, but it appears that his brother is headed elsewhere.
Kenny Brown, a cornerback at College of the Canyons in Valencia, Calif., will sign with UNLV on Wednesday as a mid-year transfer.
It was UNLV coach Mike Sanford's 14th commitment. Of his 14 recruits, six are defensive backs.
Curtis Brown is BYU's all-time leading rusher with 3,221 yards. He played for BYU in 2002 and from 2004-06.

Linebacker/tight end Kyle Van Noy of McQueen High in Reno, Nev., has pretty much narrowed his list to two schools: BYU and Arizona State.
Van Noy visited ASU last weekend and will make his official campus visit to BYU on Jan. 10.
The 6-foot-4, 202-pound Van Noy is being recruited to play several different positions in college.
"I love that ASU is recruiting me as an athlete," he told devilsdigest.com. "It gives me a lot of different opportunities to see the field. I really like the ASU coaches and how they recruit me. They don't overdo it like a lot of other schools."
He also told the site: "It's going to be a tough choice between ASU and BYU," he admitted. "I'm going to make my decision after my visit to BYU. I'm gonna do what my heart tells me."
Van Noy is LDS but has said he isn't planning on going on a church mission.

BYU has made scholarship offers to three junior college players from California junior colleges: defensive back Lee Aguirre, linebacker Aaron Gress and linebacker Jordan Atkinson.
A source close to the coaching staff said that Atkinson is almost a lock to commit to the Cougars and sign on Wednesday when the signing period for mid-year transfers begins.
It appears that BYU is battling Hawaii for Aguirre and Illinois and others for Gress.
Atkinson is LDS; Aguirre and Gress are not.

That's too bad about Brown. I was hoping to see BYU get him as maybe a preferred walk-on. Not sure if BYU had any interest though. Good luck to him with the Rebs! It will be fun to see how he does within the conference.
Atkinson, if he does in fact commit to BYU would be a solid get. Watching him on film he reminds me of Kelly Poppinga. I wouldn't be surprised if he is in the 2-deep after Spring Ball were to end if he ends up at the Y.
