Houston is losing its top receiver, as Samuel Brown announced Tuesday afternoon he will be entering the transfer portal. The redshirt junior will have two years of eligibility remaining at his next school.

Brown spent the past two seasons with the Cougars after beginning his college career at West Virginia. Last season, the 6-foot-2, 195-pound receiver led Houston with 62 receptions for 815 yards while scoring three times through the air.

Brown recorded eight or more receptions in a game five times in his career, including three occasions last season. He had a career-high 10 grabs for 113 yards and a touchdown against Texas Tech and set a career-high with 138 receiving yards on nine receptions against Rice.

Brown originally signed with West Virginia as a three-star recruit in 2020. The Savannah, Georgia native was the No. 63 receiver in his class.
