Brown, a senior, had 27 receptions for 412 yards and three touchdowns last season, and was expected to be a major contributor for the Bulldogs in 2016.
The Bulldogs return receiver Fred Ross, who led the SEC in receptions last season, but Brown seemed likely to be the Bulldogs’ No. 2 receiver after the early departure by De’Runnya Wilson for the NFL.
Brown’s dismissal opens the door for receivers such as sophomore Jesse Jackson and redshirt freshman Jonnas Spivey, both of whom have had nice springs for the Bulldogs.
