The 5-star wide receiver had received a exception from the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA), enabling the 2027 five-star wide receiver the ability to go out and compete with Big Walnut’s track and field team for the spring. Brown is currently the nation’s No. 19 overall player and No. 4 wide receiver and No. 1 out of Ohio of the 2027 class, according to the Rivals Industry Rankings. “Speedy playmaker who is highly dangerous after the catch. Measured in at around 5-foot-11, 190 pounds prior to his senior season. Steadily gained mass and filled out his frame, with over 20 pounds of weight gained from his sophomore to junior years. Has elite top-end speed as the top sprinter in the state of Ohio. Has personal best times of 10.35 seconds and 20.79 seconds in the 100 and 200 meters respectively. Won state titles in both events as a junior. Also shows that top-end speed in the combine setting. Identified as a top wide receiver prospect early in the cycle. Shows flashes of that speed on Friday nights. Has the ability to take the top off of defenses with a top gear that can separate against cornerbacks on vertical routes. Does a nice job working back to the quarterback on broken plays. Dangerous with the ball in his hands and a threat to score every time he touches the ball. Combination of speed and filled out frame makes him tough for defenders to bring down. Dangerous in the quick game adds value as a ball carrier. Doubles as a strong return man, capable of taking it to the house. Finished his junior season with 73 catches for 1,009 yards and 10 touchdowns. Saw his efficiency dip a bit (13.8 yards per catch). Does not always play to his timed speed, especially in neutral settings. Ball skills register as solid to good and can be improved. Projects as a multi-faceted playmaker who can take advantage of manufactured touches at the college level with the upside to grow into a more complete receiver with continued development.” – Rivals Director of Scouting & Rankings, Charles Power More about Wayne High School “Wayne High School, located in Huber Heights, Ohio, is home to the Warriors.
