Five-Star Ohio Wide Receiver Jamier Brown Says He Made “A Great Decision” Committing to Ohio State and Says He'll Do “Whatever My Team Needs”
Five-star Ohio wide receiver Jamier Brown says he made “a great decision” committing to Ohio State and says he'll do anything OSU asks of him on the field.
Five-Star Ohio Wide Receiver Jamier Brown Says He Made “A Great Decision” Committing to Ohio State and Says He'll Do “Whatever My Team Needs”
One year ago, Jamier Brown was a kid from Dayton with all the speed and potential in the world to emerge as an elite wide receiver prospect.
Fast forward to present day, and the Wayne product has already lived up to his billing and then some. Brown has been a track star from day one in high school so naturally, he’s always been considered a true burner on the gridiron. Even still, it’s fair to say his football career has moved beyond that.
Growing up around an hour away from Ohio State, the five-star Buckeye wide receiver commit is considered the No. 3 prospect and the No. 1 wideout in the country in the 2027 class per 247Sports’ composite rankings. In one-on-one drills against defensive backs that are going to play Power Four football someday, Brown torched his competition, displaying smooth and fluid route running while not letting the football touch the ground. In his sophomore season, Brown caught 63 passes for 1,035 yards and 15 touchdowns.
“Definitely a better route runner, you know, just better separation,” Brown said of what he’s improved in his game from last year. “Definitely a better work ethic and just a better mindset than what I was last year.”
In short, it’s clear why Brian Hartline offered Brown the summer after his freshman year. Brown accepted the offer a few months later, becoming the first commit in Ohio State’s 2027 class, which now has two five-star commits with Brown and quarterback Brady Edmunds.
The NFL Draft cemented Brown’s belief in why he chose the Buckeyes, as Emeka Egbuka was drafted by the Buccaneers in the first round, making him the fifth OSU wide receiver to be taken in the first round within the past four drafts (Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Marvin Harrison Jr.). He’s the sixth if you count Jameson Williams, who transferred to Alabama after developing for two years under Hartline.
“It makes me think I made a great decision,” Brown said. “They were like one of the first ones to have five receivers go in the first round (within four years). Obviously, I want to be a part of that. I’m going to accomplish everything I can to be a part of that and I think I made the right decision.
“Coach Hartline is a great coach, coach Day is a great coach. Great people. Ohio State, it’s just lovely there, they’ve got a lot of great people and it’s a great environment. Hartline wants to see me just get better each and every day. He has a great connection with me and he’s loved talking to my family.”
Brown said he’s spoken a bit with Egbuka, who gave Brown his number and told him to reach out if he ever needed anything.
“He’s definitely a great brother, a great mentor,” Brown said.
Brown says he and his fellow 2027 commit Edmunds talked a few weeks ago, but the pair haven’t talked to each other too much outside of that. He says he’s hoping to further his relationship with his future quarterback later this summer.
Brown believes he’ll be a terrific addition to Ohio State’s wide receiver room. Currently measuring in at 5-foot-11 and 170 pounds, Brown said he’s open to playing either in the slot or outside.

Nothing to be worried about, pretty dialed in on this one and if he visits other places, it is just for the experience. Shoot, I would go see all the major campuses for games if I had the opportunity. You only get that opportunity once in a lifetime. Easier saying that knowing there is about a .00001% of him actually flipping.

And not only is he going to see other places, but imagine doing that traveling and then getting paid as well
