I hope he passes up CTH soon so he can have bragging rights haha.
Good news for the young man. But a clarification to an above post, he is a former UH cornerback; but he is still – and always will be – a Houston Cougar.

That could change in 2016, however, as first-round pick William Jackson could push Kirkpatrick, who struggled in his first year as a starter in 2015. Jackson has been impressive in OTAs and mini camp, and if he continues to shine during training camp, the Bengals will ask him to do more than just contribute on special teams this season.
