Kent is an incoming true freshman who committed to the Wolverines Aug. 4, 2018, exactly one year before his announcement. He signed his letter of intent in December and enrolled at the university in June.

Kent was a three-star recruit. He was ranked the No. 116 wide receiver, No. 45 player from Ohio and No. 958 overall prospect in the 247 Sports Composite Rankings.

He picked Michigan over scholarship offers from Bowling Green, Northern Illinois, Kent State and Ball State.

Michigan is stacked at wide receiver in 2019, with Donovan Peoples-Jones, Nico Collins and Tarik Black all back as juniors. True freshmen Mike Sainristil, Cornelius Johnson and Giles Jackson also figure to join sophomore Ronnie Bell as part of the offensive arsenal.
