Scouting Report

Kentucky · 2025 draft class

Hairston is an athletic cornerback with excellent ball skills and developing technical refinement. He possesses outstanding speed and change-of-direction ability, allowing him to match up with receivers in man coverage and recover when initially beaten. Hairston shows improved route recognition, anticipating breaks and closing quickly on underneath routes. His ball skills are a significant asset, with the hands and body control to secure interceptions. Hairston tackles with good form despite his leaner frame, breaking down in space and taking proper angles in pursuit.
