Another Miami-Dade football product is off the board as Kansas City Chiefs selected South Carolina Gamecocks cornerback and Carol City alumnus Rashad Fenton with the 28th pick of the sixth round — No. 201 overall — in the 2019 NFL Draft.

Fenton played in 48 career games for the Gamecocks, including 30 starts, and recorded 122 tackles, five interceptions, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery with 24 defended passes.

He was South Carolina’s top cover corner as a senior, intercepting three passes and breaking up six more while also playing some time at nickel corner and safety when needed.
