Gateway has another junior who is being heavily recruited, but doesn't have a scholarship offer from Ohio State. Corey Brown, a cornerback-receiver, has more than 30 offers from Division I schools and Bell said he is hoping Ohio State decides to make an offer to his teammate. While Bell answered questions at a small news conference Monday afternoon at Gateway, Brown stood in the background, waving an Ohio State flag.

"He's looking at Pitt strongly, and West Virginia strongly -- and North Carolina and Penn State," Gateway coach Terry Smith said of Brown. "He's more wide open than Dorian. Corey wants to go through at least this spring and see who else comes through."
