Former USF WR Khafre Brown commits to Arkansas

Former USF wide receiver Khafre Brown committed to Arkansas, according to a post on his Instagram. He started his career at North Carolina.

Brown played two years at UNC and the last two with South Florida. He had his best season in 2023, reeling in 27 catches for 435 yards, five touchdowns and 16.1 yards per catch.

Overall, Brown has 47 catches for 908 yards, eight touchdowns and 19.3 yards per catch.

As a member of the Class of 2019, Brown was a four-star recruit out of Charlotte (N.C.) West Mecklenburg, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 5 overall prospect in the state, the No. 35 wide receiver in the class and the No. 216 overall prospect in the class.

Brown joins an Arkansas team that needs a bounce back campaign in 2024 under Sam Pittman.

Following Arkansas’s spring game midway through April, the Razorbacks head coach addressed the shift to a Thursday night showdown for the season opener. And surprisingly enough, he is a big fan of the change.

“You look at a few things when you go to Little Rock and No. 1 you really don’t want to take away from great football,” said Pittman. “So you don’t to take away from the Friday nights… if you play in September then what time do you want to play the game?”

Perhaps Brown will get a chance to shine under the “Thursday Night Lights.”
