Eli Brown leaving Kentucky Wildcats Football

The Kentucky Wildcats have lost a big part of their linebacker depth.

On Friday, it was revealed that Eli Brown is set to transfer from the program, according to Tyler Mansfield of the Sporting Times.

The former Warren East star was one of UK’s top signees in the Class of 2015, not to mention one of the more highly sought after recruits from the state of Kentucky recently. He committed to UK and wound up redshirting in his first season, then played sparingly in 2016.

In 2017, Brown had a major role in UK’s defense when Jordan Jones went down with a shoulder injury.
