Jairus Brents - Waggener

[NKYknowitall]

He is a Jr., isn't well known because Waggener hasn't really had a strong football program in the past. He will be one of, if not the highest, recruited football player for his class to come out of KY by his senior year IMO. Speed, Speed, Speed, and great athletic ability doesn't hurt.

 

Watched some videos, this kid in incredible

Would love to have seen this young man at a bigger school playing against better competition.

 

While I understand your point, I'm glad he isn't at a bigger school. Too often kids at smaller class schools get knocked for that reason, but it is rare to see major D1 talent come out of Class 1A, 2A, and 3A and seeing a kid remain with his school is nice to see.

He actually transferred down from Manual, where started as a freshma, to Waggener.

Ah. Well delete what I said previously! :lol2:

Is he the best kept secret in KY? I haven't heard much if anything about this young man. Is he a senior?

He is the kid who was offered by UK and UofL in either the 7th or 8th grade. Got some national attention for that back then.

Very explosive player. Bardstown contained him reasonably well in their game a few weeks ago, but everytime he touched the ball you gripped the edge of the bleachers because it looked like he could break it and go. Good luck, young man, much respect.

From this list of off the chart impressive offers, he must be the real deal. Can anyone explain what appears as very average season game stats on the KHSAA website? Injury?

[LegionofBoom]

No offense to this young man - and I hope he takes advantage of the offers given to him - but after watching about 3 games of his I'm thinking these offers are more for track than football.

He did not play the majority of the season due to a high ankle sprain that he suffered on the opening kickoff of the season. He played as much as he could, but was never over 70% and still did not allow a completion all year.

No offense to you, however you clearly are not in the business of evaluating talent. This young man is one of the best if not the best defensive backs to ever play in Kentucky.

[Realreason]

Syracuse just offered today, add another one to the list.

 

All I can say is the best programs in the land have interest in him........SOMEBODY likes what they see, and he will do well wherever he ends up:thumb:
