One of central Ohio's top high school football teams knows it will have one of the country's top recruits for at least the first five games of the 2026 season, but senior Jamier Brown's eligibility after that remains undetermined.
A five-star wide receiver who has committed to Ohio State, Brown transferred to Big Walnut in January after playing three seasons at Huber Heights Wayne.
"[Brown] is eligible for the first five games of the season, and in early October the OHSAA will conduct a review of his status in conjunction with Big Walnut and the family to determine his eligibility for Week 6 and beyond," Tim Stried, the director of media relations for the OHSAA, said July 21.
Transfers ruled ineligible for the second half of the 10-game regular season can't compete in the postseason.
During track and field in the spring, Brown was ruled eligible for the entire season after the OHSAA determined he met one of its transfer exceptions. The OHSAA said it doesn't provide details of exceptions.
