Whatever happened to him? Seems like I haven't even seen him in line to compete for a starting job or even be a key backup. Is he hurt or has he just really not adjusted to Power 5 football?

He's serving his purpose right, brought in to help build competition, but if you saw his game film before he came here, this was to be expected! When i told people either herbert or campbell was going to be one of our starting tackles, the clowns on here started yapping like i didnt know what i was talking about. And with nelson fast tracking like he has, somebody might want to look into politics!

What report or knowledge do you have for this? I’m pretty sure the last depth chart article I read had him with the second string line. I love how people on forums know everything they need to know about a dude without seeing them play literally one time

He came from Butler and unfortunately he doesn’t play basketball. He is horrendous. He is a body for practice and nothing more. Kudos to him for getting one free year of college though.

Think people had higher expectation but needed to see reality. Why was a grad transfer from Butler (are they even D1?) going to come in and be an instant impact guy on the line? Him being a second string G is what his role here will be. a JAG basically to create depth on a disaster group that is much needed.

Butler beat Stetson and Taylor last year. https://butlersports.com/index.aspx?path=football
They do not offer any kind of scholarships for football. Anyone who ever thought this kid was going to play here is either retarded or just a hater to think we suck that bad to have to play a kid as awful Kennedy

Who would have thought that a kid who barely saw the field at Butler would step in day one and be the starting left tackle.

I mean he's not Power 5 caliber but 1) multiple other big time schools recruited him as a grad transfer so it wasn't just Miami after him and 2) He started the last 22 games for Butler so you saying he barely saw the field isn't accurate at all.

What, you're not signed up for Susan Miller Degnan's updates? Tommy Kennedy just PANCAKED a walk-on during the Big Cane drill, so obviously he will be in the starting lineup soon.

I stand corrected, but if memory serves Butler was bad and wasn’t even honorable mention all conference.
 
The staff obviously didn't pick TK for him to fail in the program. Same with A Martin.

Talent eval is art as well as science.

They [staff] seemingly got it wrong with the young man and appears to have got it right with Osborn.

Now 50% success isn't good enough, transfer class will be judged fully on all the athletes. Bolden and company need to be additive to roster, not cannon fodder.
