LSU WR Jalen Brown enters NCAA Transfer Portal
LSU wide receiver Jalen Brown is entering the NCAA Transfer Portal after just one season in Baton Rouge, On3 has learned. The Tigers landed Brown over Miami, Texas A&M and others in the 2023 class, but now he’s on the move after one year with LSU.
As a senior at Gulliver Prep, Brown played in six games and logged 22 catches, 401 yards and three touchdowns. Brown was injured for two games as a senior and had two other games cancelled. For his high school career, he caught 111 passes for 2,396 yards and 25 touchdowns.
“Jalen Brown reminds us of Will Fuller due to his similar size, build and skill set at the same stage,” Brown’s On3 profile reads. “Like Fuller, Brown is a thinner receiver with the ability to take the top off defenses with his top end speed. Both have similar movement patterns and ability after the catch as well. Brown has more verified track times than Fuller as a high school prospect.”
Brown was the No. 79 overall prospect and No. 13 wide receiver in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 18 player in Florida.
Jalen Brown high school scouting summary
“Big play wide receiver who is one of the top deep threats in the 2023 cycle. Shows the ability to consistently separate and win on vertical routes. Transfers his sub 10.7 second speed in the 100 meters over to the football field. A smooth, fluid mover who shows signs of changing speeds mid-route. Also shows the ability to track and locate the ball over his shoulder.
“Makes some grabs with his arms extended. Productive as a junior with over 1,000 yards, 11 touchdowns while averaging over 18 yards per catch. Needs to continue adding to his route tree as he mainly wins on vertical routes to this point.”
