During today’s media meeting with the media, David Shaw was asked if Osiris St. Brown was now the team’s #3 receiver.
This question was asked because in the UC Davis game, St. Brown caught a huge 53-yard post route off of a play-action fake. Osiris is a redshirt freshman, a vaunted 4-star recruit, and his younger brother starting at WR for USC while his older brother plays WR for the Green Bay Packers. The pedigree is impressive, the expectations are sky-high, and it seemed like a breakout moment.
Why else would a freshman with one catch be mentioned as a starter besides two experienced seniors Arcega-Whiteside and Irwin?
