One of the most electric athletes in America will be a Wildcat. Wide receiver Barion Brown announced his commitment to Kentucky, choosing UK over offers from Alabama, Ole Miss, TCU and dozens others.
Brown, a 6-foot-1 pass-catcher from Nashville’s Pearl-Cohn High School, is the second-ranked wide receiver and No. 14 player overall in the On300 rankings. He is the highest-ranked skill position player from outside of the state to ever to commit to Kentucky. Brown was primarily recruited by offensive coordinator Liam Coen and wide receivers coach Scott Woodward.
Brown is the 18th player in Kentucky’s 2022 class, joining Kiyaunta Goodwin as the second top 50 commitment.
