The Indianapolis Colts reportedly are among the teams scheduled to host Kansas State cornerback Julius Brents for a top-30 visit ahead of the 2023 NFL draft.
The cornerback position is one of the biggest positions of need for the Colts entering the draft, and there’s a good chance they’ll need to use their second-round pick (No. 35 overall) to address the position.
According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Brents has visits scheduled with the Colts, Pittsburgh Steelers, Tennessee Titans, Carolina Panthers and Baltimore Ravens.
Kansas State CB Julius Brents has a dozen pre-draft visits, including the #Steelers, #Colts, #Ravens, #Panthers and #Titans. Projected by many as a Day 2 pick. Good combination of size and athletic ability. https://t.co/4Hw2ohvRmT

One of the most athletic cornerbacks in the 2023 class, Brents is a perfect fit as a boundary cornerback in Gus Bradley’s zone-heavy scheme. He fits the locker room culture the Colts want to develop, and he could compete for starting snaps early on during his rookie contract.
While there have been questions about his ability to make plays on the ball, he showed an improved ability to do so during his senior season at Kansas State by leading the team with eight passes defended and four interceptions.
A local product of Warren Central, it wouldn’t be a surprise at all if Brents is pretty high on the team’s board as a projected Day 2 pick.
