After trading down twice in the second round and acquiring more draft capital, the Indianapolis have selected Kansas State cornerback Julius Brents, adding to their defensive back room.
Brents, a Warren Central product, fills a major need for Indianapolis. The Colts traded away veteran cornerback Stephon Gilmore to the Dallas Cowboys earlier this offseason, which opened up a need at that outside corner spot opposite Isaiah Rodgers.
Brents stands at 6’3”, 198 pounds and is a long, athletic cornerback that very likely has a chance to start on Day 1 for Indianapolis. After starting his career at Iowa, Brents transferred to Kansas State and started a total of 27 games in each of the last two seasons.
