That's huge.

Tanner coming in for spring is good too, obviously.

Absolutely, not to mention our safety/star depth just got much better with 2 early enrollees.

From what I understand Tommy's weight has been a bit of an issue as of late, it will be good to let the coaches monitor the flop.

If number issues become less of a worry(I know it's not likely) could Tommy ever man the nose on the other side of the ball in a pinch and take up space with his floppy?

Dispatch

What has changed are his surroundings and requirements. Tanner and offensive lineman Tommy Brown of Akron Firestone enrolled for spring quarter to join five members of the recruiting class who enrolled in January, including quarterback Braxton Miller.

Brown's value: Firestone's Tommy Brown enrolled at Ohio State early to take part in spring practice, and the freshman has already played a valuable role, since the Buckeyes started the spring with only 10 offensive linemen on the roster.

Brown has been working primarily as the second team right tackle -- he was beaten by Fellows for a sack last Saturday -- but the reps taken by a player who should still be in high school will only help him.

"He has a lot of learning to do and long way to go, but he's out there every day and he's helping us," Shugarts said. "Without him, we wouldn't even have two lines. So coming right out of high school, he's doing a good job."

Any feed back on how Tommy did this season? With all the talk about how we need a left tackle, I wonder if Tommy could be a candidate with a better OL coach? Very few guys his size run a 4.8 forty, or so the first page says.

Report: ex-Ohio State granted immediate eligibility at Akron

When Tommy Brown transferred to Akron a couple of months ago, the offensive lineman was hoping to be able to contribute to the Zips right away.

As it turns out, it appears he’ll be able to do just that.

While the school has yet to announce or confirm it, the Akron Beacon Journal confirms that Brown’s appeal to the NCAA was successful and he will be eligible to play immediately in 2014. The specific reason for Brown’s appeal for a waiver has never been made public, and it’s unknown whether Brown will play in Saturday’s game against Penn State.
