ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - UCF men's soccer head coach Bryan Cunningham announced Wednesday that Deshorn Brown, a talented transfer, has signed a Grant-In-Aid with the Knights and will join the program this fall. A forward, Brown spent the last two years at the University of Mobile where he was a two-time NAIA All-America First Team selection.
A native of Jamaica, Brown led all NAIA players with 32 goals in 2011. He totaled 67 points and had 10 game-winning goals to rank second in the nation in both categories. Brown had nine multi-goal contests and recorded five hat tricks.
Brown will have two years of eligibility remaining with the Knights.
"We are really looking forward to having Deshorn join our team," Cunningham said. "He is an exceptional forward who scored frequently on the NAIA level. We are confident that his goal-scoring ability will transfer over to UCF."
This past season, Brown led his team to the round of 16 in the NAIA National Championship. For the second-straight year, he was named the Southern States Athletic Conference Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year.
As a freshman in 2010, Brown registered 21 goals. He will join a UCF program that has enjoyed great success under Cunningham. The Knights have advanced to the second round of the NCAA Championship in two-straight seasons and were ranked as high as No. 6 nationally in 2011.
