  Draft Scout by Conference









  Earlier this week, Miles was in the middle of addressing the Jayhawks' defensive issues in the second halves of recent losses when it prompted him to transition to the subject of Prunty's coverage abilities. When Prunty, a 6-foot-1, 189-pound freshman from Portsmouth, Va., broke up a would-be touchdown pass to Kansas State receiver Malik Knowles this past Saturday it gave him six breakups on the season - currently the most among all FBS freshmen - and continued his streak of breaking up at least one pass in every game of his young career to date. "So guys that are playing for us as young players," Miles said, "really are making great contributions."

Prunty, rated by Rivals as a two-star signee in KU's 2020 recruiting class, is still in search of his first interception as a Jayhawk, but his six passes defended tie him with Alabama's Malachi Moore, North Carolina State's Shyheim Battle and Syracuse's Garrett Williams for the most among Power Five freshmen. Moore was a four-star prospect in the Class of 2020, while both Battle and Williams redshirted in 2019. Louisiana Tech's Cedric Woods, a true freshman like Prunty and Moore, leads FBS freshmen with seven passes defended in six games. As K-State showed when Will Howard threw toward Prunty's man, Knowles, early on a 30-plus yard deep shot, opponents like to test a freshman cornerback. KU senior safety Ricky Thomas said those encounters leave Prunty's teammates impressed. "I feel like he has no ceiling," Thomas said of Prunty. "I feel like he gets better every week. He's a great guy and by the time he leaves here he's going to be one of the best." - Lawrence Journal World
