Oregon quarterback Anthony Brown (13) reads the defense during the spring game in Eugene in May. Brown was officially named the Ducks’ starting QB on Friday, Aug. 27, 2021.

THIBODAUX, Louisiana — Anthony Brown has been on the camp circuit this summer.

It’s another radical difference from a year ago for the Oregon quarterback, who joined the Ducks last summer amid the pandemic.

Brown attended QB Takeover’s Flight School camp in Atlanta last month along with fellow UO quarterback Robby Ashford and was one of over 40 college counselors working with over 1,200 campers at the Manning Passing Academy this past weekend at Nicholls State.

“It’s always a competition, but it’s fun and it’s healthy competition,” Brown said. “Nobody is looking to outplay everybody else but everybody is also looking to get better, do drills better, work on certain techniques. It’s a really cool experience practicing with some of the best quarterbacks in the country, and you get to interact with them, even some kids that I didn’t know and some that didn’t know me. You get to see new faces, new throwing motions, and it’s a really cool experience. I’m honored to be invited to something like that.”

Brown and Penn State’s Sean Clifford are among the quarterbacks to appear at both camps in the Southeast with some others at the Manning Passing Academy having appeared at camps in California as well.

Whether it’s his private QB coach Quincy Avery, who runs QB Takeover, or Super Bowl Champions Peyton and Eli Manning, Brown is trying to add to his game before his final college season.

He’s focusing on “efficient movements in the pocket, consistency (and) accuracy” above all.

“Each camp or each coach, they all approach something differently,” Brown said. “I try to take whatever coaching points they have because they all have been in the game for years.”

Brown played in Oregon’s final two games last season and 2018 was the only time he’s played a full college football season without injury, having torn each of his anterior cruciate ligaments in 2017 and 2019 while at Boston College. So while he has far and away the most game experience of the Ducks’ quarterbacks, Brown still has lots of room to hone his skills.

When he’s been on UO’s campus for player-led workouts, Brown’s been aiming to add muscle and trim some fat while maintaining his 226-pound frame.

“Making sure I strengthen my muscles around areas that they need to be strengthened,” he said. “Stay healthy throughout the course of the season because it’s been a long road and to be there for my teammates when I’m needed, physically, mentally, everything else. Trying to keep my body right, and the strength staff and our treatment staff is one of the best.”
