Jordan Brown (born December 4, 1999) is an American college basketball player for Nevada. He is the 31st ranked player in the class of 2018 according to ESPN. On May 11, 2018, he committed to Nevada.[1]

Nevada was the first program to extend a scholarship offer to Brown, on April 13, 2015, after his freshman year at Woodcreek High School. Nevada coach Eric Musselman first noticed Brown at an AAU event playing against his son. Brown first began receiving more Division I attention after winning gold medals with Team USA in the 2015 FIBA Americas U16 Championship and 2016 FIBA U17 World Cup, receiving offers from several Pac-12 programs. As a junior, Brown averaged 26.3 points and 15.8 rebounds per game and was named a MaxPreps second-team All-American. He led the team to the state title game, where Woodcreek lost to Bishop Montgomery High School 74-67 despite 35 points and 17 rebounds from Brown.[2] He was named the 2017 Sacramento Bee Player of the Year.[3] Brown transferred to Prolific Prep his senior year of high school. He averaged 23.5 points and 13.1 rebounds per game at Prolific Prep while earning MaxPreps fourth-team All-American honors. Brown was named a McDonald's All-American and was the only McDonald's All American to commit to a university outside the Power 7.[2] With the addition of Brown and the return of twins Cody and Caleb Martin, Nevada is ranked in the top 10 of several preseason polls in the 2018-19 season.[4]
