Penn State WR may be OU bound

CNHI

— NORMAN — Oklahoma could be getting some help at a position that’s become perilously thin since last season ended.

Penn State senior receiver Justin Brown is reportedly considering transferring to Norman for his senior season.

Brown, 6-foot-3, 209 pounds, would be eligible to play immediately should he choose to transfer. The NCAA has waived all transfer rules for Penn State players after it hit the Nittany Lion program last month with probation that includes four-year bowl, severe scholarship restrictions and other penalties.

Brown was the Nittany Lions’ second leading receiver with 35 receptions and 517 receiving yards last season. He scored two touchdowns and led the team with 27 punt return yards.

ESPN reported on Thursday that Brown was scheduled to meet with Penn State coach Bill O’Brien before making a final decision.

If Brown decides to come OU, he would join a receiving corps that only has one currently eligible player — Kenny Stills — who has caught a pass in a college game.
