The state record for receiving touchdowns in a single season is 30 -
William Carrico (Owensboro Catholic) in 2023.
Right now, Owensboro Catholic’s William Carrico holds the record with 30 receiving touchdowns in the 2023 season, but with five games remaining, Brown is certainly on pace to claim it. The 4-star receiver is averaging 3.2 touchdowns per game, putting him on pace to break the record in the final game against Fern Creek.
Right now, Brown ranks as high as No. 66 in the nation, No. 11 among wide receivers, and No. 2 among Kentucky recruits. However, with this dominant senior season, he is making a strong case for a higher ranking.
The Louisville native has already etched his name into the history books with 49 career receiving touchdowns, tying him for the tenth-most in Kentucky. Now, as Brown looks to earn his fifth star in recruiting, he aims to own the single-season touchdown record, inching closer every week.
