Former UK Football linebacker Eli Brown is heading home, commits to Western Kentucky

Eli Brown, who started five games for Kentucky in 2017, announced his transfer from the UK Football program on Feb. 9.

He has found a new home.

Brown announced via Twitter on Saturday that he will be joining the Western Kentucky football program. The former UK linebacker is a former standout at Warren East high school, located in Bowling Green, Ky.

Brown was set to enter his junior season with the Wildcats. Brown received a jump in snaps when Jordan Jones injured his shoulder early last season. Jones’ injury allowed Brown to start at weakside linebacker.
