Cortez Braham is headed to Lexington next week. The Nevada wide receiver transfer has set his visit to Kentucky.

The 6-foot-2, 192-pound wideout will take an official visit to Memphis from Jan. 6-8. He will then arrive in Kentucky for his visit on Jan. 8th.

“I know they’re just getting over there to the school, but me, him, and Coach Bush have been talking about the role I can play if I do decide to commit to them,” Braham told KSR+ on Friday.

Braham Talks Kentucky

Cortez Braham has been mainly in contact with Kentucky wide receiver coach L’Damien Washington since entering the portal. He’s also starting to hear from UK’s offensive coordinator Bush Hamdan.

“They were talking about how important I am to their offense. They’re talking about getting me on a visit to really get to know the rest of the staff.”

Kentucky has already added two wide receiver transfers this offseason. The Cats are bringing in Oklahoma transfer JJ Hester and Alabama transfer Kendrick Law.

“Personally, I feel like I play anywhere in the offense: inside, outside. It really doesn’t matter where they put me,” he said. “I’m very versatile. I can play a good part in their offense, being able to go anywhere on the field to make a play.”

Cortez Braham’s Game

Nevada transfer wide receiver Cortez Braham finished the 2024 season with 56 receptions for 724 yards and four touchdowns. He also had one carry for one yard.

“My greatest strengths are that I’m a very good route runner and I catch the ball really well,” Braham said. “Those two attributes set me apart from most receivers.”

Braham is looking to improve his tracking downfield. He also wants to be more consistent with “50-50 balls.”

“I need to make sure I turn those 50-50 balls more my way,” he said.
