young UCA DB with proven ball skills and room to bloom
Kendal Brister arrived at Central Arkansas as a 5'10", 175-pound defensive back from Marion, Arkansas, where he closed his high school career with 101 tackles, six interceptions, and a senior season highlighted by a team-high six picks[6]. UCA lists him as a 2024 freshman and 2025 redshirt freshman, with no official college stats recorded yet, so the appeal is projection: physical enough to tackle, quick enough to play the ball, and local-talent tough with a knack for production when the action finds him[10][2].
