Ole Miss wide receiver A.J. Brown will forgo his senior season in favor of declaring for the 2019 NFL draft.
He announced the news on Twitter:
Brown was among the few bright spots for the Rebels in 2018, as they went 5-7 and struggled mightily down the stretch with five consecutive losses.
Despite the team's shortcomings, Brown was productive for the second straight season with 85 receptions for 1,320 yards and six touchdowns.
As a sophomore in 2017, the 6'1", 230-pound native of Starkville, Mississippi, was a handful for opposing defenses as well with 75 receptions for 1,252 yards and 11 touchdowns.
