2020 Season Provides Ohio State Linebacker Baron Browning Final Opportunity to Fulfill Five-Star Potential

When Urban Meyer put the finishing touches on Ohio State's 2017 recruiting cycle, five-star linebacker Baron Browning was one of the crown jewels of the class.

As the No. 11 prospect in the country, he would've been the highest-rated player to sign with a Big Ten team if not for defensive end Chase Young (ranked No. 7) and Jeff Okudah (No. 8), who both joined Browning as Buckeyes.

Those were just three of the five five-star prospects who signed with Ohio State that year, along with standout cornerback Shaun Wade and interior linemen Wyatt Davis.
