The most highly touted prospect in Kentucky in the 2018 class is hands-down, Cornerback, Jairus Brents.

Brents attends the same high school as defensive end prospect, Tahj Rice. Jairus Brents is a pure athlete. He holds five total KHSAA State Track and Field Championships in various events. A kid with top end speed is surely sought after by many Power 5 schools.

The Waggener High School cornerback stand just 5-feet, 10-inches tall and weighs in at just under 180 pounds. This is not the typical defensive back that Mark Stoops goes after, but he makes an exception for this talent.

Brents boast offers from 28 Division-1 schools. Most notably: Alabama, Florida, Louisville, Michigan St., Mississippi St., Oregon, Tennessee, and UCLA have all extended offers for this Kentucky talent.

Jairus Brents is rated as a four-star product on both Rivals (19th overall CB) and 247sports (18th overall CB). Mark Stoops should look no further than Louisville, KY for his next great CB prospect. A recruiting win with Brents would mean a lot for the future of in-state recruiting for Kentucky.
