On3's Pete Nakos made a couple of predictions on Tuesday for where some of the biggest names in the NCAA transfer portal will end up and he has the LSU Tigers landing a former four-star wide receiver. 

Nakos thinks Kentucky Wildcats transfer wide receiver Barion Brown will leave the Bluegrass state for the Boot. 

Ole Miss, Texas A&M, and Florida State are also teams to watch for Brown. 

Brown, 6-foot-1/182 lbs from Nashville, TN, was rated as the No. 16 wide receiver in the nation and the No. 3 player in the state of Tennessee in the 2022 recruiting class. 

The Tennessee native caught 122 passes for 1,528 yards and 11 touchdowns during his three seasons at Kentucky. Brown also rushed for 195 yards and two touchdowns and he returned five kickoffs for touchdowns. 

LSU is expected to be in heavy pursuit of a wide receiver in the transfer portal and Brown is just one of many options they will consider. 

We should gain some clarity on where key transfer players will land in the coming days/weeks as visits and communication between school and players picks up.
