Ohio State WR commit Jamier Brown suspended for two games by OHSAA

Ohio State wide receiver prospect Jamier Brown will miss the first two games of his high school football career due to disciplinary action from the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA). Brown, a five-star recruit and original transfer from Wayne to Big Walnut, will serve a two-game suspension for violating OHSAA rules, as announced by the organization.

The violations, reported by The Dayton Daily News on August 19, involve two separate and unrelated incidents, each warranting a one-game suspension. Brown, ranked as Ohio's top recruit by 247Sports, will miss Wayne's opening game on August 21 against Fairfield and a Week 2 home match against Cincinnati St. Xavier, the 2022 Division I state runner-up.

He is set to make his season debut against Lakewood St. Edward on September 4. Brown had previously transferred from Wayne to Big Walnut in January before returning to his original school upon the start of preseason practices. Despite his transfer, OHSAA director of media relations Tim Stried confirmed that his eligibility for the regular season and playoffs remained intact until the violations occurred.

The nature of the violations will be disclosed during the OHSAA Board of Directors meeting on August 27. If Brown had remained at Big Walnut, his season status would have been determined after Week 5, as per OHSAA rules.
