veteran YSU road-grader with proven start-to-finish reliability
Norris Kennedy is a long-established Youngstown State offensive lineman whose biggest edge is consistency: in the 2003 season, he started all 11 games at right tackle for the Penguins, helping anchor an offense that leaned on the run and finished with 225 rushing yards in one game. The stat sheet won’t capture his value fully, but the vibe from team coverage is clear—he was viewed as a dependable, durable tone-setter up front. If you want a guard who brings experience, steadiness, and trench toughness, Kennedy looks like the kind of fit coaches love.
