Kennarius Chandler brings instant-disruption juice to UT Martin’s linebacker room
In the 2025 season at Olivet Nazarene, Kennarius Chandler posted 54 total tackles, 11.0 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, 2 pass breakups, and a fumble recovery, and he earned honorable mention all-conference recognition; that production, plus a record of forcing plays behind the line, says “playmaker,” not just “tackler.” His path also shows resilience and range: he played at Northern Michigan before breaking out at Olivet Nazarene, and he arrives at UT Martin as a 6-foot-2, 230-pound junior with proven downhill instincts, physicality, and special-teams value. If your defense wants a linebacker who can hunt, hit, and wreck timing, Chandler is worth the hype.
