Pittsburg Central Catholic sophomore safety Corey Thomas grew up an Ohio State fan, but loves Penn State's energy

Corey Thomas might be one of the most intriguing prospects in Pennsylvania, but it's not always easy to walk in his shoes.

The 6-foot-3, 195-pound safety/receiver from Pittsburgh Central Catholic said, after all, that he is an Ohio State fan.

And, he said, loving the Buckeyes and living in Pennsylvania can be tough.

"Every now and then, people come at me about it," he said laughing during a break in the action for his EVOLVE team in the East Coast Elite 7v7 tournament at Spooky Nook.

Thomas said he began to appreciate the Buckeyes at a young age.
