Arthur Brown, a former five-star linebacker and one of the top players in the nation in 2008, is transferring to Kansas State after seeing the field minimally in the past two seasons at Miami, according to his father in a release to hovpensports.com.

Early last week, it was confirmed to The Mercury that Brown had left the Miami program and had enrolled at Butler Community College, where he was taking intermediary classes. Multiple sources indicated they were under the belief that Brown coming to K-State was a done deal. And according to his father, it now is.

"I would like to acknowledge that Arthur Brown Jr. will continue his education at Kansas St. University," said Arthur Brown Sr. in a statement to hovpensports.com. "We are very happy and elated to have Arthur Jr. back at home, and we appreciate the overwhelming support and kind words we've received from the entire state of Kansas, our community, friends and immediate family.

"We are proud to become a part of the K-State family."

Brown, who starred at Wichita East High School, was selected the Most Valuable Player of the U.S. Army All-American game in 2008, and was ranked the No. 2 outside linebacker in the nation and the best player in the state of Kansas.

Brian Butler, Brown's advisor could not be reached for comment, nor could Arthur Brown Jr.

Bryce Brown, Arthur's brother who was the No. 1 player in the nation in 2009, is currently at Tennessee after playing his freshman season for the Volunteers. Sources have told The Mercury that Bryce will wait and see how he fits into coach Derek Dooley's system, who took over after coach Lane Kiffin bolted for the USC job in January, and then will make a decision on whether or not he will remain in Knoxville.
