Elijah Kennedy is NC A&T’s explosive two-way weapon with game-breaking return juice
Kennedy’s biggest differentiator is his elite special-teams impact: in the 2025 season, he led the nation in combined kick return yards with 979 and added two punt-return touchdowns, including a legendary two-return-TD game that turned heads across FCS. North Carolina A&T also describes him as essential because of his speed, which translates into offense and return game value. He missed the 2024 season with injury, so the key question is health — but when he’s right, he looks like a momentum-shifter who can fit any roster that wants field position, explosiveness, and a true spark plug.
