Could Kentucky transfer wide receiver Barion Brown fit at LSU?

Could this Kentucky wide receiver transfer be a fit for LSU’s offense?

LSU lost three wide receivers to the transfer portal in the week following the regular season making the position a prime need for LSU this cycle.

Tigers’ head coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] hinted at an aggressive approach with the transfer portal in 2025 and wideouts will be a top priority.

One potential fit is receiver Barion Brown. He announced his intention to enter the portal following a three-year campaign at Kentucky where he totaled 2,407 all-purpose yards.

In Brown’s freshman and sophomore seasons, he totaled 628 and 539 receiving yards, respectively. His production decreased in 2024 as he hauled in 29 catches for 361 yards along with 13 carries for 50 yards. The versatile playmaker is looking to be a high-level contributor at his next school.

In addition to LSU. Ole Miss and Texas A&M are expected to target the Nashville, TN native once he hits the portal. Following Vanderbilt’s breakout season, don’t be surprised if the Commodores show interest.

LSU’s 2025 outlook at receiver is unclear. [autotag]Aaron Anderson[/autotag] is expected to return but Chris Hilton’s status remains a mystery. Outside of those two, the Tigers lack experienced options.

With [autotag]Kyren Lacy[/autotag] off to the NFL and [autotag]CJ Daniels[/autotag] in the portal, a significant chunk of production is being lost.

Given Kelly’s comments regarding the transfer portal approach combined with LSU’s own losses, Brown makes perfect sense as an early target for the Tigers.
