Former Temple running back Matt Brown was one of two men arrested Tuesday in Baltimore and charged with involvement in human trafficking.

Temple football play-by-play announcer Zach Gelb confirmed the arrested Brown was a former Owl and commented on the arrest:

The 25-year-old Brown played at Temple from 2009 through 2012 with his best campaign coming as a junior, when he compiled 916 rushing yards and six touchdowns, while also scoring on a kick return.

After leaving Temple, Brown spent time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during the 2013 offseason before signing with the CFL's Saskatchewan Roughriders, although he never appeared in a game.
