JUCO CB Fenteng drawing interest from Kentucky

Hutchinson Community College in Kansas is home to Shattle Fenteng, a 6-foot-2 cornerback with a growing offer list that includes Kentucky.

Tommy Mainord has been in contact with Fenteng for the past month and the Wildcats recently extended an offer.

"He's told me that they're a new coaching staff there and they have a good recruiting class coming in," Fenteng said. "He told me if I come in I would start right away for them. I like him a lot. He seems like a good coach. I also like coach (Derrick) Ansley, the cornerbacks coach. I talk to him a lot on Twitter."

Fenteng said it's too early to tell for sure but he thinks he will take an official visit to Kentucky.

Ole Miss, Texas Tech, West Virginia, Kansas State, Louisiana Lafayette and Georgia State are the other schools that have offered the junior college corner.

Not surprisingly, that's some of the same competition the Wildcats faced off against for junior college prospects Javess Blue and Nate Willis in the last recruiting cycle.

Tennessee and Georgia are also showing interest in Fenteng. Two years ago he was a high school prospect from Grayson High School in Georgia.

"I had offers from Appalachian State and Georgia Southern. I was talking to UGA too but schools stopped talking to me when they found out I wasn't going to qualify," he said.

Fenteng said he does not have any favorites. Ole Miss was the first school to offer this time around and the Rebels are recruiting him as a defensive back that could play safety or cornerback.
