Kennith Thompson brings veteran DB speed and return-game juice to Fordham
In the 2008 season, Fordham’s Kennith Thompson stood out as a seasoned defensive back with starter-level experience, plus enough burst to set a school strength-and-conditioning record in the pro-shuttle (3.81 seconds) and flip field position on special teams with a 39-yard kickoff return against Yale[1][2]. The selling point is versatility: he offered depth and athleticism in the secondary while contributing as a returner, which makes him the kind of plug-and-play, high-energy defender coaches love for speed, experience, and trustworthiness in tight games[1][4].
