  Draft Scout by Conference









  It didn't take long for Robert Jackson to realize that KU freshman cornerback Karon Prunty had a bright future. Jackson was only Prunty's head coach for one season at I.C. Norcom High School in Portsmouth, Virginia. Jackson took over the program in the offseason, and only needed to see Prunty in a few drills to fully understand his potential. "I knew right away that he was special," Jackson told the Journal-World in a phone interview. "We knew we had a special player. I was just surprised his recruiting wasn't through the roof at that time." Jackson's prophecy proved to be true.

Prunty was listed as a starting cornerback in KU's original depth chart, which was released on Monday ahead of Saturday's season opener against Coastal Carolina. In roughly 12 months, Prunty went from an under-recruited prospect originally committed to Liberty to a true freshman starter for a Power Five program. "I'm not sure how good he thought he could be," Jackson said. "He played both sides of the ball. He ran punts and kickoffs back for touchdowns. He was one of our leading receivers. But I told him if he's going to make money that it's going to be at that defensive back position." - Lawrence Journal World
