Jackie Brown ’72 was a 2-time all-conference selection in basketball. Brown played only two years at Ohio Wesleyan after transferring, but he was twice named the Bishops’ Most Valuable Player. He averaged 22.1 points per game, at the time the No. 2 mark in school history and the best ever for an OWU guard. He was one of 3 Bishops — and the only guard — to score 500 points in a season, tallying 521 his junior year. Brown also set the Bishop single-game high for scoring from the backcourt, 36, and school single-season records for field goals made (232) and attempted (554). His 2-year totals include 993 points and 265 rebounds. A 2-time second-team All-Ohio Athletic Conference selection, Brown was elected captain as a senior. He also received Ohio Wesleyan’s George Staten Award as the school’s outstanding athlete.
