Looking for a Sleeper at Corner, I Like Korbyn-Joseph Green
BROKEN ARROW – Honestly, I was at the Sooner 7 Classic seven-on-seven tournament to catch up with Braylin Presley and check out some of the other Sooner 7 players like quarterback Steele Wasel. I also knew that there were some Oklahoma State prospects from Kansas and Nebraska that were supposed to be there. There was a wide receiver in Jaidyn Doss out of Raymore-Peculiar in Missouri that I was told I had to see. The 6-1, 200-pound Doss runs a 4.47 in the forty. I caught up with all of those, but as I was watching the Sooner 7 Black in their first game on Saturday one of the defensive players made a diving interception that caught my attention and that I got on video.
I asked Derek Rasmussen of Sooner 7 who that was after the game and I interviewed Korbyn-Joseph Green. I learned that the 6-1, 170-pound Green was at Tulsa Washington last season and had his junior season cut down to four games because of a shoulder injury. I learned that Green is now at Owasso playing for the Rams.
He’ll need that weight room at Owasso. He’ll need the trappings that come with playing at one of the largest Class 6A-I schools. He will need to show up strong this fall. He’ll need to do it kind of the way he got my attention by making an impressive play.
“We had a man call and the receiver that I was covering let his chest up a little too much,” Green described the pick that we caught on camera. “I knew I should press him and I jumped him and followed him and then I saw the ball come so I undercut it and got the pick.”
I noticed he is always around the ball and Rasmussen said he has been impressive for them.
“I’ve been looked at but no offers yet,” Green said. “I’m just trying to get some offers. I’ve got schools looking at me Miami, Mississippi State. I’ve been to some OSU camps and I just heard from Kansas State.”
Again, this means a preferred walk-on, unless a school is looking for a corner in the fall. They might even be junior recruiting and if Green takes advantage of where he is then he can take advantage of a situation like that. Oklahoma State is likely looking for two more corners in their 2022 class, at least one more. Green can’t get there from seven-on-seven, but if there are camps again this summer. If coaches are out on the road watching next fall then Green needs to be ready because for a big, athletic corner that hasn’t had all the breaks go his way so far. His chance is coming.
