A couple of surprising reports on National Signing Day:

WNML radio in Knoxville is reporting according to a source that receiver Marlon Brown from Harding Academy in Memphis will sign with Ohio State this afternoon over Tennessee, Georgia and Ole Miss.

Olive Branch senior offensive tackle Aubrey Phillips signed Wednesday with Florida State.

Phillips, a 6-6, 310-pound U.S. Army All-American and the No. 25 offensive tackle prospect nationally according to Rivals.com, had committed to the Vols early in the fall.

Phillips also had scholarship offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Duke, North Carolina, Penn State, Southern Miss and Memphis.
