Ohio State’s Cam Brown To Return For Fifth-Year Senior Season

On Dec 17, 2021

Ohio State cornerback Cam Brown announced on Thursday night he will put off the NFL and return to Columbus for his fifth-year senior season.

“I want to start off my thanking God for giving me this opportunity to be here. Without him, I couldn’t have done any of this,” Brown said in a note posted to Twitter. “Thank you to everyone on the Ohio State staff and, most importantly, to Buckeye Nation.

“I’ve been through a lot over the past four years. But I am not done yet. There are many more memories to make and games to win with my brothers.”

A former four-star prospect from St. Louis, Brown played the second-most snaps of any cornerback on the roster this season with 399, trailing only freshman Denzel Burke (661). His return is much-needed for a unit that will likely lose senior Sevyn Banks to the NFL Draft.

This is a breaking news story that will be updated.
