Rating: 82.02 (Long-term starter)

Accolades:

  • 2022: First-team All-Big 12
  • 2022: Career-high four interceptions (tied-third in Big 12) 

Summary:

Julius Brents is a long cornerback with a slender frame. He had good ball production this year as a result of getting his eyes back to the quarterback. Tackling was much improved in 2022, but top-end speed remains a concern. He is a high-cut prospect, which generally leads to stiffer transitions across the field for cornerbacks.

  • Great length
  • Gets up to speed quickly
  • Does a good job of getting his eyes back to the quarterback

Weaknesses:

  • Top-end speed is a concern
  • Slender frame
