2023 Receiving Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Brown had one of the better freshmen seasons of any wide receiver in the country last season, hauling in 50 passes for 628 yards and four touchdowns. He turned heads against two-time defending champion Georgia last November with 10 catches for 145 yards and a touchdown in a narrow 16-6 loss to the Bulldogs. The Wildcats will have to replace Will Levis under center, though, and Devin Leary has transferred into Kentucky to assume the position. Leary is recovering from off-season pectoral surgery, though is expected to be healthy for the season. Leary posted a 35:5 TD:INT in 2021, but missed six games last year due to injury. Tayvion Robinson also returns to reprise his role opposite Brown, but the Wildcats have also lost leading rusher Chris Robinson. In other words, there could be a lot of moving parts outside of the wide receiving room this season, which may make matching production from a season ago difficult for Brown. Read Past Outlooks
Scores twice in Gator Bowl
Brown notched three receptions (on six targets) for 100 yards and one touchdown, along with two carries for 26 yards and a touchdown during Friday's 38-35 defeat versus Clemson.
ANALYSIS
Brown managed 126 total yards and two touchdowns as the Wildcats were defeated by the Tigers in the Gator Bowl. The 6-foot-1 sophomore closed out the 2023 season with 686 total yards and five touchdowns on 55 touches, following up his impressive freshman with similar numbers for Kentucky. With Tayvion Robinson leaving to the NFL, Brown may move up the pecking order in 2024.
