Maliek Brown, a three‑star wide receiver from Texas, has pledged to join the University of Kansas football program as part of the 2027 recruiting class.
A Strategic Addition to the Jayhawks' Receiving Corps
Standing at 6‑foot‑3 and weighing 185 pounds, Brown emerged from Chapel Hill High School in Tyler, Texas, where he recorded 43 receptions for 768 yards and 11 touchdowns during his junior season.
His commitment marks the second time a wide receiver has signed with Kansas for the 2027 cycle and brings the total number of verbal pledges to ten, underscoring the coaching staff’s growing influence in the region.
Brown chose Kansas over a slate of suitors that included Baylor, Kentucky, Michigan State and TCU, signaling a decisive preference for the Big 12 program.
The Jayhawks are actively shaping their 2027 wide‑receiver group, eyeing additional prospects such as Kobe Haynes, Tavares Powell and Jay Williams, while also bolstering the 2026 class with Corbin Glasco, Tyren Parker and Nate Sims.
Coaches view the influx of talent as a chance to revamp the offense, hoping the new recruits will help restore the program’s competitiveness in the conference.
