Verdis Brown includes Ohio State in Top 10 The Buckeyes have one offensive lineman currently committed in 2018 — Franklin, Tenn. 4-star Max Wray — but they’re looking for five or six overall in this class most likely, and that means there’s a long way to go. On Saturday, one potential target narrowed his list to 10 schools and included the Buckeyes. That is IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) 4-star Verdis Brown, a 6-foot-3, 295-pound guard who is from Chicago. As of now, the Buckeyes hold 100 percent of the 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions for Brown. “It feels like home,” Brown told Land of 10 about Ohio State. “I know the coaches well, and it’s not far from home. I know they’ll prepare me for the NFL.” The country’s sixth-ranked offensive guard said he’s talking to Ohio State assistant Greg Studrawa regularly and intends to return to Columbus this summer. “We talk often,” he said of Studrawa, who is preparing for his second year at Ohio State. “I don’t know yet when I will get back there for a visit, but I know I will.”

Top IMG lineman could be the guy to fill the center spot in #OhioState 2018 class; Ohio OL "hyped" about OSU offer https://t.co/Pf6RBriAXV— Bill Kurelic (@Bill_Kurelic) May 25, 2017
Verdis Brown | Chicago (Ill.), IMG Academy (Fla.) | ★★★★ The Buckeyes love having multiple reasons to visit IMG Academy in Florida and versatile interior lineman Verdis Brown is one of them. Brown and Juice Scruggs are listed as a center by most recruiting networks, but they’re capable of playing any of the three inside positions. That would give Ohio State a ton of flexibility if Matthew Jones ends up at defensive tackle or something weird happens. Brown will return to Ohio State at some point this summer and the Buckeyes currently hold 100-percent of the crystal ball predictions analysts have made for him.
