is another member of the Newport secondary who has stood out to me this season. He lines up in a strong safety/nickel role where he is very impressive in coverage. Kendell reads routes then breaks on the ball quickly when it is thrown his way to make a play. He came away with three interceptions in his first six games this season. Buck-Barber also recorded 14 tackles and four tackles for loss in the first six games. He has also made an impact on offense and special teams, leading his team in rushing through the first six weeks with 85 carries for 565 yards and five touchdowns while also throwing one touchdown pass and returning one punt return for a touchdown. Kendell has received some college interest and I wouldn’t be surprised to see offers start coming his way soon.
