 '''Jordan Brownstein''' played quizbowl at [[Maryland]].

-As early as his freshman year, Jordan was notable for his extremely deep [[specialism]] in literature and history (despite being a computer science major) and for coming out of relative nowhere – namely Plymouth, New Hampshire, where his only exposure to [[good quizbowl]] was one or two [[History Bowl]] events – to establish himself nearly immediately as an elite collegiate player. After a year playing alongside (and sometimes outscoring) [[Chris Ray]], Jordan became lead scorer of the Maryland team that finished 4th at [[2015 ICT]] and 3rd at [[2015 ACF Nationals]]. He led the 2nd-place team at the 2015 [[Chicago Open]], where he was the top scorer overall at the main event, literature side event, and history side event.
