Unfortunately this past year Kentucky didn’t have a whole lot of luck against Tennessee. <\/a>In addition the Volunteer State is a place the Cats haven’t had much success recruiting. However 2021 was the year they finally broke through in a big way with three players from the Volunteer state. In fact they inked one of the best players in the nation. Let’s introduce you to him as Kentucky signs four star Barion Brown.<\/strong><\/p>\n The 6-1, 173 pound Brown committed to Kentucky on November 24th. He chose the Cats over some other big time programs including Alabama, Florida State, Ole Miss, Tennessee and TCU.<\/p>\n As a senior at Pearl-Cohn High School in Nashville, Brown did a little bit of everything. Playing both quarterback and receiver Brown ran for 819 yards and 10 touchdowns on only 59 carries. In addition he also hauled in 22 passes for 303 yards and three more scores. If that wasn’t enough he also played defense recording 24 tackles including two for a loss. Brown capped his season by being named the Tennessee Class 4A Player Of The Year. Another future Cat Destin Wade<\/strong> won the Class 6A trophy.<\/p>\n #BBN<\/a> fans: You\u2019re getting two good ones in @BarionBrown<\/a> and @Destinwade1<\/a>. pic.twitter.com\/o8NOsG0PqR<\/a><\/p>\n — Tyler Palmateer (@Tpalmateer83) December 7, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nBig Time Playmaker<\/h4>\n
