- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Mickey Marotti has been developing athletes in a big way ever since he entered Ohio State football's weight room.
And in his short time in the Buckeyes' assistant athletic director for football sports performance's weight room, freshman quarterback Devin Brown has already seen a difference.
At least those closest to him have.
"Took a picture of (Devin Brown) the day before he left for college to track his gains," Andrew Brown, Devin's father, tweeted Saturday, posting a picture of his son as a child with one recently taken at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.
"Strength and conditioning program @ Ohio State is unreal! 60lbs to 210lbs. Nicely done Coach Mick."

This isn't the first time Andrew Brown has tweeted something out to put his son on display.
After a semester off, former 5⭐️ landscaper @dbrownqb33 has dropped to a 3⭐️ in our rankings. Measurables and potential are still there but he needs to work on his edging. #backtoreality pic.twitter.com/nWmv9BiCU0

Brown has seemingly made some significant gains since he arrived at Ohio State in January.
The freshman, who finished his senior season at Corner Canyon High School in Utah with 4,881 passing yards, 430 rushing yards, 65 touchdowns and a state title, came into the program at 196 pounds. Heading into his first fall camp, Ohio State has Brown at 6-foot-3, 210 pounds.
Brown spent his sophomore and junior seasons at Queen Creek High School in Arizona with former Ohio State quarterback Joe Germaine.

But this isn't a new concept for Marotti and the rest of the Ohio State strength and conditioning staff.
Multiple athletes have seen significant body changes since arriving at Ohio State with defensive tackle Hero Kanu, offensive lineman Carson Hinzman, defensive end Caden Curry, offensive tackle George Fitzpatrick, wide receiver Kyion Grayes, tight end Bennett Christian and linebacker C.J. Hicks each gaining 10 pounds or more heading into their first collegiate season.
