UCF tight end Elijah Brown commits to Kentucky

ORLANDO, Fl. (ABC 36 NEWS NOW) – The Kentucky Wildcats have bolstered their tight end room with the addition of transfer Elijah Brown, who joins the program from UCF.

Brown, a 6-foot-6, 250-pound junior from Dayton, Ohio, began his college career at Alabama, where he redshirted as a freshman. He then transferred to Florida Atlantic, spending two seasons with the Owls. While at FAU, Brown primarily contributed on special teams, recording one catch for 22 yards.

Following the 2023 season, Brown transferred to UCF but re-entered the transfer portal and has now landed at Kentucky. With two years of eligibility remaining, he becomes the fifth scholarship tight end on the Wildcats’ roster, providing much-needed depth at the position.
