Kendi Young brings veteran steadiness and big-play juice to Eastern Illinois
In the 2024 season, Kendi Young remained a dependable veteran in the Panthers’ backfield, listed as a senior at 5-foot-11, 210 pounds and described by Eastern Illinois as a steady follow-up option with four years of game experience and 630 career rushing yards. He also flashed explosiveness earlier in his career, including a 160-yard game in 2022 and a 72-yard touchdown run, which tells you he can still flip field position in a hurry. If you want an experienced, physical runner with burst and a proven role in a rotation, he’s worth a look.
