Barion Brown, former Kentucky WR star, signs with LSU

LSU has landed one of the top playmakers in the transfer portal, signing Kentucky transfer Barion Brown on Saturday.

A 6-foot-1, 182-pound junior, Brown has produced more than 3,200 all-purpose yards and scored 18 touchdowns over three seasons at Kentucky and earned All-America honors as a kick returner in 2023.

Brown will join the Tigers for his final season of eligibility, giving LSU starting quarterback Garrett Nussmeier a speedy receiver with proven SEC production.

The former ESPN 300 recruit started right away for the Wildcats in 2022 and earned Freshman All-America recognition for his immediate impact as a receiver and returner.
