"I'm aggressive, have good technique, and I can play zone coverage as well as man. I have good awareness," Dent said.
The speedster committed to UM last summer during Paradise Camp. Canes cornerbacks coach Mike Rumph is the coach he is closest to on the recruiting trail, saying, "he's a good guy with a good personality". He was impressed by the play of Miami's defense this past season, and in particular, his future position group.
