Former Alabama tight end Elijah Brown has spent the past 2 seasons playing for FAU under Tom Herman. Now, Brown is on his way back to the SEC, according to a Monday morning report.
Originally, Brown had committed to move to UCF, where Scott Frost has returned to the program he once led to an undefeated season. But Brown re-entered the portal in the spring window, and he’s now heading to Kentucky, according to Matt Zenitz with CBS Sports/247 Sports.

Brown was originally an elite TE recruit for the Crimson Tide in the 2022 recruiting class, joining the program as a 4-star prospect out of Ohio. Unfortunately, he did not crack the depth chart and headed to FAU after his freshman season.
Across the past 2 seasons with the Owls, Brown appeared in 11 games for the program. However, he has just 1 career catch for 22 yards to his credit.
In spite of the limited usage, he is still an intriguing TE prospect for Mark Stoops and the Wildcats. We’ll see if they can find a way to maximize his potential in Lexington.
