Noah Brown 2017 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer<\/strong> continually emphasizes having a recruiting presence in the Tri-State area, an underrated hotbed of high school talent. It’s from there that the Buckeyes landed Noah Brown<\/a><\/strong>. The Flanders, NJ native came to Columbus as a highly touted four-star recruit, rated as the number nine athlete in the country by Rivals.com.<\/p>\n

As a true freshman, Brown appeared in 13 games during the Buckeyes national championship run even though he didn’t figure prominently into the offense from a stats standpoint. The following year, he made major strides during preseason and figured to become a key contributor. Then he suffered a devastating broken leg the week before the season opener and missed the entire 2015 season.<\/p>\n

A year later, Brown came into his own even if his raw numbers weren’t eye-popping. Though he finished with just 402 receiving yards, his seven touchdown grabs were tied for the best mark on the team with Curtis Samuel<\/a><\/strong>, himself a prospect in this year’s draft. And he averaged 12.6 yards per catch which was second among Buckeye receivers who had a minimum of 20 receptions.<\/p>\n

Of course, his highlight reel moment came in week three against Oklahoma. He caught four touchdown passes including one which most football fans are familiar with.<\/p>\n
