Waxhaw football player getting lots of attention

It looks like Marvin Ridge has an up-and-coming WR named K.J. Brent who's starting to get lots of attention. Per an Inside Carolina premium article dated February 8th:
“The obvious thing that jumps out is he’s 6-4,” Marvin Ridge head coach Scott Chadwick said. “He uses that size very well. Obviously at 6-4 he’s a big target to throw to.

“The thing that separates him the most is a thing we call his ‘ball skills.’ He has the best ‘ball skills’ of any kid that I’ve ever been around. He catches everything. He makes difficult catches. We had him for one official drop this season – he just catches everything.”

Within the last couple of months, Brent has collected scholarship offers from Duke, East Carolina, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Wisconsin. Additionally, representatives from Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Maryland, NC State, Oregon, Virginia, and Wake Forest have visited Marvin Ridge during December and January.

For someone who keeps an eye on recruiting for my favorite northern school, that's a pretty impressive list of offers & interest at this point. It'll be interesting to see if he blows up with any solid camp showings or a strong senior year performance.
