Austin Kent brings versatile defensive back upside to Chattanooga
Austin Kent profiles as a physical, multi-sport defensive back with strong ball skills and production from high school, where he helped his team to a 35-9 record over three seasons and posted 36 tackles, 7 pass breakups, an interception, and a fumble recovery as a senior. Chattanooga lists him as a DB, and his appeal is the combination of competitiveness, coverage instincts, and proven playmaking on the back end—traits that matter for a team looking for a defender who can compete for snaps and contribute on special teams. The key question is how quickly his athletic traits translate to the college game.
