Barion Brown has been one of the most exciting players in Kentucky football history over the past three seasons. The speedy wide receiver has made big plays catching the ball, but has also been an elite kick returner. It was a disappointment for fans when he entered the transfer portal.
The talented playmaker certainly had any number of suitors for his services next fall, but has chosen where he will play in 2025. Brown will play for the LSU Tigers, per Pete Nakos.

Brown, like the rest of the Wildcats offense, had a disappointing 2024 season, with just 29 receptions for 361 yards and 3 touchdowns. In his three seasons in Lexington, he totaled 122 catches for 1,528 yards and 11 scores. He also returned five kickoffs back for touchdowns during that time.
Kentucky fans are certain to miss him, but Brown will join an LSU team that hopes to compete for a College Football Playoff spot next year. Big Blue Nation wishes him well.
