LSU wide receiver Barion Brown is entering his final season of eligibility in 2025. The former top-100 recruit is looking to have a big season playing with star quarterback Garrett Nussmeier in Death Valley. However, the former Kentucky wide receiver still remains one of the best special teams players in college football.
The Nashville (Tenn.) Pearl-Cohn product is once again receiving some preseason recognition as a return specialist. Brown was named a first-team All-SEC member in Phil Steele’s College Football Preview.
Barion Brown started his career at Kentucky and spent three seasons playing for head coach Mark Stoops. During his time in the Bluegrass, Brown recorded 122 receptions for 1,528 yards and 11 touchdowns to go along with 195 rushing yards and two more touchdowns. There were inconsistencies during each of his three seasons but this has always been a player with explosive play potential. Brown’s most consistent act has always been as a kick returner with five career return touchdowns and a return average of 29.3 yards. The SEC transfer should make a big impact immediately for LSU’s special teams.
The former Kentucky wideout is expected to have a big role for a true College Football Playoff contender in Baton Rouge.
