WR Corey "Philly" Brown (Official Thread)

[Smooth Olaf]

Welcome, Corey!

This should add some nice confusion for the broadcasters for the next few years. Here's hoping to see both Corey Browns line up on special teams at least once.

I think he'll be the next inheritor of the Shot-Ginn position. He has all the skill sets necessary to be successful at whatever position he plays.

Not to get off on offensive scheme, but what significant contribution has that role/position contributed? We had some success with Ginn playing there, but nothing since.

I expect Brown will be like Flash Thomas. Converted RBs into slot WRs. May take a couple years for him to learn the position.

Great group of skill position guys coming in this year. I've loved Corey's film since last year when this thread confused a lot of us with the other Corey Brown from PA.

The BPRT had a good feeling OSU was in the lead (see the "Conversation with the BPRT" thread)...glad to see he pulled the trigger sooner rather than later...

Ohio State might have come up short Saturday night on the field against USC, but the Buckeyes will not come out of the weekend empty handed. Four-star prospect Corey Brown from Pennsylvania was on hand and has decided to join the Buckeyes next season.

Welcome Corey!! You made a great decision.

 

[Taosman]

Great get! Congrats to the Brown family! As a runner he reminds of Robert Smith a lot. But, I guess he will probably play WR here.

welcome Corey

People compare him to Flash Thomas, but I think he's got a more solid build than Thomas, and should definitely be an asset in the Shot Ginn formation, where he can both run and catch the ball. Looks like he's tough to bring down on film.
