Carrington Valentine was the lowest-ranked recruit in Kentucky’s highly touted 2020 class, but that didn’t stop the Cincinnati native from making an immediate impact as a true freshman.
After playing sparingly to begin the season, Valentine became a starter after the Kelvin Joseph opt-out and had a coming-out party in the Gator Bowl when the rookie recorded six tackles and forced a fumble. Now, Kentucky is looking for the second-year player to potentially fill a full-time starter spot at boundary corner.
The Wildcats are attempting to replace two proven commodities in 2021. Both Brandin Echols and Joseph should hear their names called at the NFL Draft in a couple of weeks.
