This is the second time the Hurricanes have taken a dip into the Big 10 during the portal season as they picked up arguably the best defensive player on the team this season in defensive lineman Simeon Barrow Jr. last season.
This year they add a DB after a season of questionable play from the position all season long. Brantley was considered a top 30 player out of the portal pool.
The 6', 179-pound Brantley had 27 tackles, 2 TFLs and 3 INTs in 2024. According to PFF, he allowed 14 receptions for 149 yards on 37 targets without allowing a touchdown. He also graded out at 77 percent on the season.
For his career, Brantley has 103 tackles, 5 TFLs, 5 INTs, and two pick-sixes. He has one year of eligibility remaining.
