Long, physical Kentucky corner with ball skills and NFL size
Derrick Baity Jr. is a **6-3, 188-pound cornerback** whose best selling points are length, physicality, and proven ball production, including a **team-high seven passes defended** and **38 tackles** in the season highlighted by UK Athletics; he also started **12 of 13 games** and showed enough impact to reach the East-West Shrine Game[1]. On3 described him as one of the nation’s most improved players, noting his edge play and tackling volume, which suggests a defender who competes hard, fits press-oriented coverages, and brings more than just measurables[2].
