If you need a kernel more recent than what ships with CentOS, you can either build your own or you can grab some kernel packages from one of the 3rd party repositories, e.g.

ElRepo: https://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-ml

My own repository (4.9.x series): http://mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.redsleeve.org/pub/misc/kernel/x86_64/RPMS/
