Marlon Brown, WR, Memphis, Tenn./Harding Academy
Player rank (position rank): 24 (3)
Considering: Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Ohio State and Ole Miss
Front-runner: By all accounts, Tennessee seems to be in the lead for Brown. Lane Kiffin has made bringing Brown to Knoxville a top priority; he was on a plane to see Brown within hours of officially taking the UT job. The Vols' location and the chance to play early could be key parts of Kiffin's pitch. Houston Nutt and Ole Miss have made a late push. The Rebels would give him the chance to play with a top-tier QB in Jevan Snead, and Brown could play basketball in Oxford.
Scouts Inc. says: Brown measures close to 6-6, and he knows how to use his frame. His athleticism makes him very difficult to handle off the line and on contested matchups downfield. He can outmuscle defenders for the ball, and his leaping ability makes it difficult to gain any position on him.
