Devin Brown arrived at Ohio Stadium in style last weekend.
As Ohio State players made their way onto the field two hours before kickoff against Youngstown State, each Buckeye was dressed in a suit and tie. Brown's tie was a tad more noticeable than the rest.
Brown rocked a bolo tie bearing the Block O logo, with his number 33 engraved in the center. But there was more to the gesture than just representing his school and himself.
The OSU quarterback had the tie custom-made by his uncle, Timmy, and said in a tweet Friday that it was made using Fordite from the family’s business, which dates back four generations. Brown said the star at the top of the tie represents him, while the other stars on the tie represent his father, his three brothers and seven uncles as a reminder to himself that his family always has his back.
My Block O bolo was hand made by my talented Uncle Timmy. The fordite came from our 4 generation family business. The star at the top is me & each of the other stars are my dad, my 3 brothers and my 7 uncles as a reminder that they always have my back. Family over everything! pic.twitter.com/4D5h7dNykJ

Brown played in both of OSU's first two games this season and saw the most action of his career to date against YSU, completing seven of 13 passes for 101 yards. He'll likely see less playing time now that Kyle McCord has been named the Buckeyes’ full-time starting quarterback, but Ryan Day said he still expects Brown to see some playing time over the course of the season, while he’ll need to continue to be ready to play at a moment’s notice as Ohio State’s No. 2 quarterback.
