We almost put Marlon Brown (Memphis, Tenn./Harding Academy) in the versatile category because he lines up all over the place, carries the ball out of the backfield and returns kicks and punts, but he runs very well for his size and will remind many fans of Class of 2008 prospect DeAndre Brown both in stature and playmaking skills.

From UGASports.....Has scheduled an official visit to Georgia for September 27th. Says he'll take an unofficial to LSU and officials to Tennessee, Florida, Ohio State, USC and Georgia. Says that they are his top 6 and will remain that way until he makes a decision. Will make a decision on signing day and says he will not be naming a leader at any point.

Wide receiver Marlon Brown (Memphis, Tenn./Harding) continues to set official visits for the season. The 6-foot-5, 205-pound Under Armour All-American has added a stop in Columbus, Ohio to his list of trips he will take this fall. Brown will take an official visit to Ohio State the weekend of Oct. 11 when the Buckeyes play host to Purdue.
"Honestly, I like their coaches," Brown said. "I like (Ohio State head coach) Jim Tressel and they have a great program."
Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, LSU and Southern California join the Buckeyes in Brown's top six. He has already scheduled an official visit to UGA (Sept. 26, when the Bulldogs play Alabama) and plans to head to Baton Rouge for a game (perhaps unofficially) this season as well.
Brown added that the Gators, Trojans and Vols currently are in line to get official visits from him, but he does not know when they will be scheduled.
"I am going to take some in December and some in January," Brown said. "I want to take all of my visits and I don't know when I am going to decide."
The visit to Athens already scheduled, Brown talked about what he sees in Georgia.
"They are a real young team and I like that about them," Brown said. "I feel like they are amazing already and if I were to come in and do my part, then I could help them get even better."
He added that he has been in touch with UGA quarterback commitments Aaron Murray (Tampa, Fla./Plant) and Zach Mettenberger (Watkinsville, Ga./Oconee County).
Many believe the Vols have the inside track. Ace recruiter Stan Drayton has done a good job building a relationship with the talented pass catcher.
"He's a real cool guy," Brown said. "He is down to earth and easy to talk to."
Brown likes the offenses at both Florida and USC.
The nation's No. 17 overall prospect has gotten off to a good start this season, scoring two touchdowns (plus one that was called back) and totaling 160 all-purpose yards in a 21-9 win over St. Benedict's (Tenn.).

From BuckeyeGrove.....Says again that his top 6 are Ohio State, Georgia, LSU, Tennessee, Florida & USC with Ohio State, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida & USC getting official visits. Has been in contact recently with Coach Hazell and talks about his interest in Coach Tressel and in Ohio State.

Very positive article.

Though we are a long shot for Marlon, it's good to see some legit interest. Imo, Marlon is the top WR in the country and worth fighting for. If he sees some of the future offense with Terrelle Pryor, I think interest could really increase...having Terrelle could really help here imo.

Since Jim Tressel became coach at tOSU, has any other school had more 1st round WR picks?

Mike Jenkins
San Antonio Holmes
Theodore Ginn, Jr.

If nothing else, as a WR, you have to listen when a school has a track record like OSU. They're almost averaging a first round WR per draft.

And Robiskie carries on the tradition, IMO.

billmac makes excellent points. I really do not see Marlon Brown to tOSU as being particularly unlikely. If he looks at our WR history to the NFL (witness: Drew Carter, Teddy Ginn, Santonio, Michael Jenkins, Anthony Gonzales), how could the young man conclude his development would not be outstanding if he were to become a Buckeye? We have possibly the best track record in D1 football in sending receivers and corners to the League.
