Akron Firestone tackle Tommy Brown to play football at Ohio State: High School Newswatch
Plain Dealer staff, April 04, 2010

Firestone football coach Tim Flossie describes two-way tackle Tommy Brown as "big and strong."

Brown's size and strength attracted several Division I schools, and Flossie said Brown made an oral commitment Saturday to attend Ohio State.

The 6-5, 310-pound junior chose the Buckeyes over Michigan State, Duke and several Mid-American Conference schools, Flossie said.

"OSU really liked his size, and I think they have him pegged as an offensive tackle," said Flossie in a phone interview from Florida. "He is a big and strong kid. I think his best football is in front of him. I really think he has an incredible upside, with great potential."

OSU liked Brown so much it was willing to overlook the knee injury that caused Brown to miss the last five games of the season.

"The injury was not serious," Flossie said. "There was no ligament or cartilage damage. It was just a bad strain."

Welcome Mr. Brown


Hopefully this class will cure more than a few people of their infatuation with star rating. The staff is getting their top targets at a number of positions-of-need. And so many have called it a "dream come true". Nothing could be less relevant than the number of stars that some media outlet prints next to their names.

I absolutely love the fact that this kid was, in his own words, "praying" for an offer from the Buckeyes.
