4-star Penn State commit’s postgame moment with Tyler Bowen fuels OSU rumors

Ohio State cruised to yet another 9-0 start this season after a 38-14 victory over Penn State on Saturday. Of course, with the state that the Nittany Lions are in, it felt that the score would be higher, but a win is a win, and the Buckeyes are still looking like the No. 1 team in the country.

Not only did Ohio State beat Penn State on the field Saturday, but since James Franklin was fired, they have been beating them on the recruiting trail, and just might have gotten another win after the game. Offensive line head coach Tyler Bowen was seen walking off the field with four-star offensive tackle Kevin Brown, who is committed to Penn State.

While Brown is committed to the Nittany Lions, he has opened his recruitment back up since the Franklin firing. Brown took a visit to his father's Alma Mater, West Virginia, recently, and decided to visit Columbus as well for this game.

Tyler Bowen made it a point to walk off the field with Kevin Brown

Brown was on an unofficial visit to Ohio State for this game, but that doesn't mean that Bowen didn't try his hardest to flip the committed tackle. After the game, it could be seen that Bowen was walking off the field talking with Brown.

Brown has been committed to Penn State since July of 2024, but since the firing of Franklin, he has been shipping around again. The Pennsylvania native is the No. 61 player in the Class of 2026, the No. 6 offensive tackle in the class, and the No. 2 player in the state of Pennsylvania, according to 247Sports. He would be a great addition to Ohio State's offensive line in the coming years.

If Bowen was making that much of an effort to speak with Brown, it is clear that he is a recruit that he wants to flip. It would also stick it to Penn State to flip one of their commits after just beating them on the field.
