Agree 100%

Reminds me a lot of Gamble. What is scary good is that like Gamble, he is probably better on Defense than he is on Offense. Brown is going to be the next great CB at tOSU. No doubt in my mind.

9) WR Corey Brown
6-1, 180, Monroeville (Pa.) Gateway

Brown played wide out during the week and was outstanding flashing his speed and ball skills. He also made arguably the best catch of the game (sorry Patrick Patterson) going up between defenders and knowing he was going to get drilled but still hanging onto the ball. While Brown was great at wide out, his potential is even better as a cornerback or safety at the college level. Whichever way he plays, he'll be a good one.

He certainly plays both sides of the ball very well; however, our depth at WR is ridiculous while our depth at CB is questionable. He is needed more at CB than at WR.

In my personal opinion Brown's skills at CB are better than his skills at WR (although he is great there too!). He epitomizes the term "lock down corner". His ball skills are just sick. He has great hips and sticks to wrs like glue. Also, often when you see "lock down corners", they arn't always the type of CB that gets a lot of int's. Brown is a different type of player, like Gamble, he is a WR playing CB, so he has great hands. He will get more than his fair share of picks while in S&G.

He will be a great corner.....or, who knows, maybe a free safety. Whatever the case, Brown is an absolute ball hawk and is gonna be exciting to watch.
