Monday, four-star wide receiver Noah Brown committed to the Ohio State Buckeyes over the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, his other finalist. The 6-2, 220-pound Pope John XXIII (Sparta, N.J.) star made his final decision the day after returning home from an Ohio State official visit. Brown made the trip to OSU with his older brother, and got the opportunity to spend extended one-on-one time with Buckeye head coach Urban Meyer. The results of that interaction proved insurmountable for the Rutgers program as Brown decided to leave the state and represent Rutgers' latest emerging rival in the Big Ten conference.
TH: How did the decision to attend Ohio State come about?
NB: Really, on my visit, spending time with coach Meyer, the players and also coach (Zach) Smith, it just really reassured me that Ohio State was the place that I belong.
TH: Did you know going into your official visit to Ohio State that you were going to commit to the Buckeyes?
NB: I definitely had a good feeling about them. I just wanted to spend more time with coach Meyer. Before this past weekend, I hadn't really spent any time with the players or anything like that, or really gotten to see in-depth how coach Smith teaches his wide receivers. So getting to see those three things really made me feel comfortable and know that was the place.
TH: How close did Rutgers come to being the school you selected?
NB: It was definitely a close battle, but I definitely say I'm very proud to be a Buckeye. I'm 100 percent committed to Ohio State. I'm very happy where I'm at, right now.
