​A former LSU football wide receiver has entered the transfer portal once again, according to a report from CBSSports’ Matt Zenitz. Brown, who began his college career with LSU in 2023, is now set to explore options at his fourth different school. His decision to enter the portal comes after news of recent legal issues being dismissed, a development that adds another layer to a career marked by upward potential and uneven results.
Brown was a highly regarded recruit out of high school, landing inside the top 100 in national rankings. He joined LSU as the No. 79-ranked prospect in the Rivals Industry Rankings, a designation that reflected significant expectations for his future in college football. ESPN, meanwhile, viewed him even more favorably, placing him No. 10 at his position on the national scale. At one point during his recruitment, Brown carried five-star status, underscoring the high ceiling that scouts believed he possessed.
Despite the promising pedigree, Brown’s tenure with LSU did not unfold as some had anticipated. He arrived into a stacked wide receiver room during his freshman year, a period when chances and targets were at a premium. The Tigers boasted a deep group featuring notable talents such as Malik Nabers, Brian Thomas Jr., Kyren Lacy, and Mason Thomas, among others. With so many dependable options ahead of him, Brown found it difficult to earn significant playing time or establish himself as a consistent contributor.
Seeking a fresh start, Brown transferred to Florida State after his initial year with LSU. However, his time with the Seminoles lasted only one season, and he eventually moved on from Florida State. The next stop on his journey was Arkansas, where Brown joined the Razorbacks and started five games before an injury cut his 2025 season short. During his time with Arkansas, Brown accumulated 12 receptions for 167 yards, a modest statistical tally that reflected the challenges of securing a prominent role in the offense and rebuilding momentum after a series of transitions.
Looking ahead, the outlook for Brown remains uncertain. Given the volatility of his career trajectory and the off-the-field issues that have surfaced, few expect him to secure an opportunity at a Power Five program in the current offseason. It seems more likely that he will explore options at a Group of Five program in need of experienced wide receiver depth. Brown’s notable speed remains a clear asset, and there will almost certainly be programs willing to gamble on that elite speed and athleticism in the hope that he can translate it into productive production and a fresh start.
This report follows the original LSU Wire coverage, which highlighted Brown’s fourth transfer portal entry as he seeks to find a new home that can capitalize on his speed and potential while navigating the complexities of a career that has seen several moves within a relatively short period. Brown’s journey illustrates the challenging path many highly touted recruits navigate when circumstances at multiple programs shape — and sometimes redefine — their college football opportunities.
