Robert Kendrick brings two-way toughness and playmaker instincts to Norfolk State’s linebacker room
Kendrick arrives at Norfolk State with a blue-collar edge and a multi-sport feel that can show up on defense fast: in high school, he ran for 765 yards and 11 touchdowns while also picking off five passes and making First Team All-Big South 3A on defense in 2023. Norfolk State’s 2024 bio lists him as a freshman who played in seven games and made four tackles, including a season-high two at VMI, which suggests developmental upside rather than instant-star volume. For a team wanting speed, competitiveness, and a defender who’s already shown ball skills, he’s a sneaky-interesting fit.
