Nope - he went undrafted. I haven't heard of anyone signing him yet though. Is he good?
Well, I looked him up on NFL Draft Tracker and he appears to be quite good. Wouldn't be averse to inviting him to camp to give a look see.
Regarded as the finest passer to ever wear a Jackson State uniform, Kent solidified that thought by rewriting virtually every school passing and total offense record … Has started since his freshman year, providing the team with one of their few bright spots as the Tigers are slowly rebuilding their program … In 45 games, he completed 825 of 1,539 passes (53.6 percent) for 11,797 yards, 104 touchdowns and 58 interceptions, averaging 262.16 yards per game, all good for school career records … His 11,797 yards passing rank fourth in NCAA Division I-AA history, topped only by Steve McNair of Alcorn State (14,496 yards, 1991-94), Willie Totten of Mississippi Valley (12,711 yards, 1982-85) and Marcus Brady of Cal-State, Northridge (12,479 yards, 1998-2001) … Joined McNair (119), Totten (139) and Brady (109) as the only players in Division I-AA annals to throw for over 100 touchdowns in a career … Added 996 yards and 21 scores on 442 carries (2.3 avg.) … His 12,793 yards in total offense is surpassed only by McNair (16,823), Brady (13,095) and Totten (13,007) in Division I-AA history … His 125 touchdowns responsible for rank third in Division I-AA annals behind Totten (157) and McNair (152).
ANALYSIS
Positives: Has a thick chest, broad shoulders, good arm muscle definition, thick thighs, knotted calves and long arms … Above-average runner who is strong in the pocket and very difficult to bring down … Has the body control to pass while rolling out of the pocket and shows fine quickness driving away from the center … Has a fluid wrist delivery and throws the short passes with touch … Lays the ball up nicely on deep tosses so that the receivers do not have to alter their routes … Drills the ball in a seam and scans the field quickly to spot his alternate receivers … Can freeze pass rushers with his moves, showing impressive elusiveness … Effective at hitting receivers on crossing routes … Has a snappy over-the-top release … Good ball handler and faker with the ability to make the initial tacklers miss … Holds the ball chest-high and can easily step up and avoid the rush … Has great timing and anticipation in the short-range passing game.
