Ohio State’s explosive, reliable slot weapon
In the 2013 season, Corey “Philly” Brown was the Buckeyes’ go-to receiver, finishing with 63 catches for 771 yards and 10 receiving touchdowns while also adding return value[1][2]. He stood out for his burst, versatility, and big-play ability, with multiple sources noting that he was one of Ohio State’s fastest and most explosive players[1][15]. Brown’s game wasn’t just speed, though—he also brought toughness, consistency, and a knack for production in key moments, making him the kind of high-intensity receiver who fits an offense that wants reliability with a little fireworks on top[2][12].
