FRISCO, Texas – Western Kentucky’s defense got a significant talent boost last week when the NCAA declared Eli Brown eligible to play in 2018.
“We run a 4-2-5, so our linebackers are in space a lot,” Farris told the Daily News on Thursday during Conference USA Media Days at The Star.
WKU announced July 13 that Brown was immediately able to play for the Toppers. While the NCAA typically requires transfers to sit out for a season, he was granted a waiver to play right away because his move from UK to WKU was due to a family situation.
