KANSAS CITY, MO. (WIBW) - Kansas State cornerback Julius Brents was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft on Friday.

He was the No. 44 overall pick in this year’s draft in Kansas City.

The Indianapolis native started in all 14 games for the Wildcats in 2022, totaling 45 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, four picks and eight total passes defended.

He earned All-Big 12 First Team honors from the league’s coaches, and All-Big 12 Second Team accolades from the Associated Press.

13 Sports caught up with a Colts fan outside the draft site to get his perspective.

“I mean it’s good. I mean he went to Warren Central, that’s one of the top football schools in Indianapolis and anything new is always good. Look at Patrick Mahomes, he was new and look what he did for ya’ll the Chiefs, so I have good expectations.”
