Following two years with the Bulls, the 6-foot, 203-pound Khafre Brown headed to Arkansas for his sixth year in college. But after seeing action in only one game for the Razorbacks last season and recording only two receptions for 42 yards, he's now entering the transfer portal for a third time.

He revealed his decision on Wednesday morning.

Wherever Brown ends up next, he will be a seventh-year college talent with one year of eligibility remaining.

While there's been no reports of interest in Khafre Brown from first-year UNC football head coach Bill Belichick and his recruiting team, it wouldn't be a surprise if that soon changes. As a collegian, he's totaled 49 catches for 950 yards and eight touchdowns.
