Richie Brown is officially headed to the NFL. The man with an impressive beard and 298 tackles from his time in Starkville is headed to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Congrats to @richiebrown39. Made the most of his career - earning his MBA, scholar-athlete and leading tackler in @CoachDanMullen era. https://t.co/JTuhirSCvx — Bill Martin (@MSUBillMartin) April 30, 2017

Brown’s career was an impressive one in Starkville. The star had 20 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, and 5 interceptions to go along with the aforementioned 298 total tackles, 139 of which were solo tackles.

Now Richie Brown will be taking his talents down to Tampa Bay and he’ll look for a chance to improve the Buccaneers’ defense.
