Jayce Brown is making his move to Baton Rouge official - and he's bringing his signature number with him.
The former Kansas State wide receiver, who wore No. 1 during his time with the Wildcats, revealed on social media that he’ll be rocking the same jersey number at LSU. That spot opened up with Aaron Anderson declaring for the NFL Draft, and Brown isn’t wasting time stepping into a role that carries weight in Tiger country.
At 6 feet tall, Brown brings a blend of speed, route-running polish, and big-play ability that LSU fans will be eager to see in purple and gold. Last season alone, he posted 41 catches for 712 yards and five touchdowns, averaging a blistering 17.4 yards per reception - a number that speaks to his ability to stretch the field and flip field position in a hurry.
Zoom out to the full picture, and Brown’s production over three seasons at Kansas State tells a consistent story: 115 receptions, 1,972 yards, and 13 touchdowns. That’s a 17.1-yard average per catch - not just a stat, but a statement.
He’s not just a possession guy or a deep threat; he’s both. He’s the kind of receiver who can take a slant 60 yards or beat a corner over the top.
Now with one year of eligibility left, Brown is set to bring that versatility and veteran presence to an LSU offense that’s looking to reload, not rebuild. The Tigers have a history of turning transfer receivers into difference-makers, and Brown has the tools - and now the number - to be the next in line.
Keep an eye on No. 1 this fall. He’s already made noise in the Big 12. Now he’s ready to make his mark in the SEC.
