Kentucky LB Jayvant Brown plans to enter NCAA transfer portal
Kentucky linebacker Jayvant Brown plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal, he announced on X.
Through two seasons playing under Mark Stoops, Brown logged eight tackles for the Wildcats. He logged stats in just one game for Kentucky this season, coming against Murray State on Nov. 16 where he logged his only tackle of the season.
He released a statement to go along with the announcement of his intention to enter the portal.
“BBN, after much prayer, reflection, and discussion with my family and coaches, I have made the decision to enter the transfer portal with three years of eligibility remaining.
“I want to begin by thanking God for the blessings, guidance, and strength he has provided me throughout my time here. His plan for me has been greater than I could have ever imagined, and I am forever grateful.
“To Coach Stoops, the entire coaching staff, and my teammates — thank you for believing in me, pushing me to be the best version of myself. As I move on to the next chapter, I will carry with me all of the memories and lessons from my time at Kentucky. I look forward to the future and excited for what lies ahead.”

Brown was a top 500 recruit from the 2023 recruiting class, according to the On3 Industry Rankings, which is a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services. He was the No. 434 overall player in his class and No. 44 linebacker.
The portal officially opens on Monday, Dec. 9, 2024. More than 2,800 FBS scholarship players entered their names into the NCAA’s transfer database during the 2023-24 school year. Removing those who withdrew or went pro, the final total sat at 2,707 transfers.
That means roughly 25 percent of all FBS scholarship players hit free agency in one year, per On3’s Pete Nakos.
