Former Miami WR recruiting target is back in portal after Arkansas dismissal

Jalen Brown's college career is getting another restart. The former Miami Gulliver Prep standout and one-time Hurricanes recruiting target is entering the transfer portal after his dismissal from Arkansas.

Brown announced this week that the legal charges he faced have been dismissed, and he plans to enter the portal after one season with the Razorbacks. Brown had been dismissed from Arkansas in April after he was arrested on a charge of hindering apprehension/prosecution.

Brown was one of the most explosive wide receivers in the 2023 recruiting class, ranked as the No. 68 overall prospect and No. 12 wide receiver in the 247Sports Composite. ESPN had him at No. 62 in the ESPN300 and the No. 10 wide receiver in the class.

Brown was a longtime Hurricanes target who received a Miami offer after attending a camp before his freshman year of high school. He eventually committed to LSU over offers from Miami, Texas, Michigan, Florida State and others.

He caught 111 passes for 2,396 yards and 25 touchdowns at Gulliver Prep. He also added 797 kickoff return yards and finished with 3,272 all-purpose yards.

Brown spent his true freshman season at LSU in 2023, appeared in three games and did not record a catch while preserving his redshirt. He transferred to Florida State for the 2024 season and played in nine games, catching eight passes for 75 yards. His best game with the Seminoles came against California, when he had two catches for 29 yards.

He then transferred to Arkansas and began last season as a starter. Brown started five games for the Razorbacks before a serious leg injury against Notre Dame ended his year. He put up 12 receptions for 167 yards and two touchdowns in 2025.

Now Brown is back on the market with a complicated but still intriguing journey.
