Ric Tapia / NFL Noah Brown played in 13 games during Ohio State’s national title run last season. While Ohio State continues to work through figuring out which quarterback will start when the team opens the season Sept. 7 at Virginia Tech, the defending champions will be without an important contributor on offense this season. College Football 24/7 Hot Topics: Wide receiver Noah Brown suffered a left leg injury during practice on Wednesday and will undergo season-ending surgery, the team announced. Ohio State coach Urban Meyer confirmed that Brown broke his leg, per the Columbus Dispatch. The 6-foot-2, 222-pound Brown played in 13 games as a true freshman in the Buckeyes’ run to a national championship in the first-ever College Football Playoff. He was used in various roles on the field, including receiver, H-back and special teams. Brown had just one reception for nine yards on the season, but with receivers Devin Smith (a second-round selection of the New York Jets) and Evan Spencer (sixth-round selection of the Washington Redskins), and tight end Jeff Heuerman (third-round selection of the Denver Broncos) all taken in the 2015 NFL Draft, Brown was one player Ohio State looked to for a larger contribution this fall. Braxton Miller, a two-time Big Ten Player of the Year as a quarterback, has moved to receiver as well. Follow College Football 24/7 on Twitter @NFL_CFB.
