2. Barion Brown, WR

One of the most underrated players in the nation this season was Kentucky’s, Wandale Robinson. He was a Nebraska transfer that helped make the Kentucky offense more explosive in 2021.

Kentucky tried to improve their passing attack this season and they did just that. Quarterback Will Levis is going to return to Lexington and help take the offense to the next level. However, Robinson is going to the NFL and someone is going to have to replace his production on offense.

Barion Brown is an explosive receiver prospect out of Nashville, Tenn. In high school, Brown had a knack for being able to make the big play and that is what Kentucky is going to need next season without Robinson. Kentucky did well to go into the state of Tennessee to get one of the best prospects in the state and keep him away from their division rivals.

Brown has the tools to get on the field immediately and make an impact in the passing game right away for the Wildcats.
