Eighth grade running back Kory Brown is offered by Rutgers football
Not yet a freshman in high school, Kory Brown was offered by Rutgers football this week, giving him his first Power Five offer. Brown is a name to watch over the next four years.
The offer from Rutgers came when Brown was on campus this week. He is expected to play next season for Tottenville (Staten Island, N.Y.).
The 5-foot-7, 160-pound running back claims a 4.57 time in the 40. A standout sprinter, last month, he ran a 6.99 time in the 60 meters.
It is obviously significant for Rutgers to offer a player who has not yet seen a single snap of high school football.
Brown tweeted about the offer following his visit to campus.
After a talk with @GregSchiano I am extremely blessed and grateful to receive my 1st D1 offer to Rutgers University!! @CoachValloneRU @bali_johnsonBMJ @jackamato @OBTFAC pic.twitter.com/UKDGucYPoJ
