because of an offseason Prep Redzone camp, where he was named one of the top DBs. It was an impressive showing from him, and I’ve continued to follow his football journey. He’s been a lockdown player, but also totaled nearly 40 tackles with a fumble recovery this season.
He’s a compact guy, standing 5-foot-9 and weighing 170 pounds with some of the best athleticism in Class 6A. Gentry is a relatively explosive ball player with a relentless motor and some of the best competitiveness you’ll see in 2028. He’s not the biggest and has a few things to clean up. But man, he plays hard every single down.
Gentry has spent time at outside corner, nickel and safety in his junior season. His versatility is obviously great, but his production at corner is impressive. His name hasn’t been called much, which is what you want. He has not allowed a touchdown in 2026.

, a defensive back/athlete at Gallatin High School. Gentry was highly explosive down the stretch, using his speed and catching ability to haul in a really impressive deep pass. I also liked how Gentry hustled after the catch, using his versatile edge to juke out the defense and take it all the way.
Rucker-Stewart Middle School finished 3-5 this year in a very difficult, Sumer County. The Rams had some very good pieces, but not enough pieces to put it all together in 2023. One of those pieces was defensive back Christian GentryChristianGentry

, at 5-foot-8 and 155 pounds. Gentry, who also did his thing in the return game, was one of five class of 2028 Rams to earn All-Conference honors this year. Gentry is a good-looking corner that can be left alone on an island because of his speed and ability to make up ground quickly with short strides. Special attention should also be given to his ability to tackle. In an increasingly-pass-happy league where defensive backs are asked to tackle less and less (some of which, I swear close their eyes and pray their close when they attempt a hit) Gentry understands angles and isn’t afraid to come up into the box for a nice stick. Look for him at Gallatin next year.
