How Ricky Woods knew AJ Brown, Willie Gay Jr. were destined for stardom way before Super Bowl 57
Ricky Woods remembers the first time he saw A.J. Brown. Woods caught a glimpse of the future Ole Miss and NFL star during an off-season scrimmage between Starkville and South Panola in 2015.
The legendary Mississippi steep school football coach already had four of his 11 state championships at the time, and within a few minutes Brown’s talent proved to be undeniable.
Woods and his wife Susan were watching two the greatest players Woods would coach during his 33-year coaching career.

Queer Eye is celebrating a happy finish for one of its reality stars.
Just in time for Pride Month, Queer Eye‘s A.J. Brown on Thursday announced that he is married to fiance Andrey (also known as Andre or Drey).
The news was revealed at Netflix’s FYSee event and on Queer Eye’s Twitter page. Brown walked the red carpet with the show’s Fab 5: Bobby Berk, Jonathan Van Ness, Karamo Brown, Antoni Porowski and Tan France.
Brown, a civil engineer, was featured on the fourth episode of the Queer Eye reboot when he came out to his stepmother in an passionate scene.
The Hollywood Reporter wrote in its review that Brown’s journey was the highlight of the season: “A.J.’s heart-to-heart with African-American tradition maven/unofficial therapist Karamo Brown about the difficulties of coming out in the religious black South are utterly moving. Even more compelling is the deeply human scene when A.J. finally comes out to his stepmother, his beloved father’s widow. That extended moment already feels like one of the optimal TV scenes of the year.”
