6-3 DB with upside, but still waiting for first college snap
Kennard is an intriguing long, physical defensive back prospect at 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds who arrived at South Dakota after transferring from Michigan State, where he redshirted in 2024 and did not see game action. His appeal is projection: size, spring-practice experience, and a recruiting profile that listed him as a cornerback rather than just a depth piece. Because there is no college production yet, the real question is development, not résumé—he looks like a fit for a team that values upside, special-teams potential, and a player whose best football should still be ahead of him.
