robbykidd 6 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Massive kid already 6'10 360lbs according to Rivals. Brown is the son of former NFL Orlando Brown (6'7 360lbs) who is famous for being hit in the eye by a ref with a penalty marker and sueing the NFL. Even though that's what his dad is remembered for, he was also a beast of an offensive tackle with the nickname "Zeus" and one of the highest paid lineman of his era. He died last year of diabetic ketoacidosis, a rarely fatal medical condition. He plays in Hyattsville, Maryland at DeMatha Catholic High School. http://rivals.yahoo.com/auburn/football/recruiting/player-Orlando-Brown-123618 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Flight 0 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 is Dematha where Cyrus K went? That is correct. That is the same high school. That doesn't bode well for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camyoudigit23 0 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Yes I did. I'm just saying he was a freshman in High School when Cyrus was there so you wouldn't think that would have too much of an influence on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbykidd 6 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 He's from MD but lives in GA now. He does not go to Dematha. This is correct. Sorry about the confusion in the OP. He transferred from Maryland powerhouse DeMatha Catholic High to Peachtree Ridge High, Suwanee, Ga. earlier this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telling tiger 156 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I hope he continues to improve in technique, strength and stays healthy. It would be great to load the line with men like this. Brick wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elephant Tipper 430 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Per BM tonight: "2014 offensive tackle Orlando Brown from Peachtree Ridge in Duluth, Ga., who reportedly is up to 6-10 and 360 pounds, is visiting Auburn Monday. He is the son of former NFL and now deceased offensive lineman Orlando Brown. I'll have a full report tomorrow." http://247sports.com/Player/Orlando-Brown-10534?pi=30095 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkolumbo 8 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 He carries some really bad weight, he is gonna have to bust his tail in the gym and on his diet. keep in mind, sophomore in HS = baby fat. That stuff comes up eventually and as an athlete it will come off better for him. If he can get down to the 320 range that'd be perfect. He should play a lot of basketball. That is a great way to improve footwork and agility for OL and DL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoALtiger 3,867 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 6'10" is really tall for football. I don't think I've ever actually seen a guy that tall playing major college football. Maybe he'll be the first for me. Ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarEagle23 0 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 That is just ridiculous. He is only in 10th grade. That is the biggest football player I have ever heard of and the fact his dad was a beast. I hope we land him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,154 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 If he is really 6'10" and only in 10th grade there is a distinct possibility he may outgrow football. There have been a few football players in the 6'9"' to 6'10" inch range but there is a point at which it becomes to difficult to change levels. If he were to grow another couple of inches I would find it hard to believe he could be a competitive lineman. Hopefully he is actually a little shorter than what people are posting which is a very normal occurrence. If he does grow a couple of more inches we might want to check out his BBall skills a 7' 360 pound center would definitely be a presence in the Post.
