  Draft Scout by Conference









  Kentucky must replace two NFL draft picks at cornerback. One of those spots should be filled by senior Cedrick Dort, who started 12 games in 2019. Valentine, a sophomore from Cincinnati, is the favorite to win the other starting job. "Has the right makeup," White said of Valentine at the kickoff luncheon. "Was able to play some as a freshman so he's got some reps under his belt. But the way he's approached and attacked the spring and the offseason, I think he's a guy who's really going to challenge and push at that corner position for us."

Valentine played in 10 games as a freshman, totaling 10 tackles and one pass breakup. He started the Gator Bowl versus NC State after Cowboys second-round pick Kelvin Joseph opted out of the bowl game. Valentine tallied a season-high six tackles and forced a fumble to close his debut season on a high note. "It kind of boosted my confidence a little bit," Valentine said of the Gator Bowl this spring. "Basically, starting that last game as a freshman was really big for me. Now, going into the offseason, trying to perfect my craft and bring my teammates along, being used to the defense and all, that was really big for me." - Courier Journal
