WATCH: Barion Brown's kick return touchdown, Kentucky's first since 2009
(Photo: Dr. Michael Huang/KSR)It didn’t take long for Barion Brown to introduce himself to Big Blue Nation. The four-star freshman wide receiver made his collegiate debut for Kentucky as the starting Z-receiver on offense, but it was on special teams where he had his breakout moment with a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.
The kick return TD snapped a 13-year drought without a kickoff score for the Wildcats. Kentucky hadn’t seen one since Derrick Locke went 100 yards to the house against Louisville in the second game of the 2009 season.
