WATCH: Ohio State QB signee Devin Brown throws strike to C.J. Williams

Draper (Utah) Corner Canyon quarterback Devin Brown put together one of the most impressive high school seasons in recent memory this fall.

The Ohio State signee completed 254 of his 372 passes for a single-season state record of 4,881 yards. He also threw for 57 touchdowns, rushed for 430 yards and eight scores. He was invited to Saturday’s All-American Bowl as a result, and he showed off the talents that made him such a prized pickup for the Buckeyes.

During Tuesday’s practice session, Brown hit four-star wideout C.J. Williams with a perfectly thrown ball during the 11-on-11 session of practice.

That combination of arm strength, field vision and touch is what helped to push Brown up in industry rankings. He is the No. 43 overall prospect in the 2022 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He ranks as the nation’s No. 6 quarterback and the No. 1 prospect in Utah.

On3’s own rankings are higher on him, though, pegging him as the No. 28 prospect nationally and No. 2 quarterback behind Penn State signee Drew Allar.

Devin Brown Scouting Summary

On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power wrote this about Brown:

“One of the more live-armed passers in the 2022 cycle. Generates considerable zip on the ball with the ability to drive throws downfield and from the far hash to the boundary. The ball pops out of his hand and comes in hot. Stretches the field vertically with his considerable arm strength. May have the most high-level, small window throws of any 2022 quarterback as a senior.

At his best when he can sit back in the pocket and push the ball vertically. Has light feet with average to above average mobility. Transferred from the Phoenix area to Utah powerhouse Corner Canyon for his senior season. Is putting up big passing numbers as a senior. Has a bit of a gunslinger mentality, leading to a higher interception total. Can miss read defenders, leading to picks. Showing some more rushing ability in the red zone as a senior. Put forth a strong showing at the Elite 11 Finals prior to his senior season.“
