The speedster exploded onto the scene in Lexington, earning freshman All-American honors from On3 and Pro Football Focus. He set the Kentucky freshman record for most receiving yards in a season with 628 and most pass receptions in a season with 50.

As a sophomore Brown led the nation in kick return average, taking a Kentucky record three back for touchdowns.

Over three seasons at Kentucky, Brown totaled 1528 receiving yards, 195 rushing yards and 1,465 kick off return yards. He scored 18 touchdowns.

The 6-foot-1 Nashville native was a five-star prospect according to On3. He will have one season of eligibility remaining.
