Before transferring to CMU, Kent spent three years at Western Carolina University where he was named to the Southern Conference All-Freshman defensive team and was a semifinalist for the Jerry Rice Award. He earned second-team All-Southern Conference honors two years in a row and had 28 career pass break ups, ranking second in WCU’s program history behind Willie Williams (41, 1990-92).
