Player Bio
About me
My name is Kendell Buck-Barber and I play high school football for Newport High School in Kentucky. As a sophomore, I had 7 interceptions and 54 tackles. I scored 5 touchdowns. 2 interceptions returned for touchdowns, 1 fumble recovered for a touchdown, a kick return and punt return. I was first on my team in interceptions with 7, and fifth on my team in tackles.
What position(s) do you play? What do you view as your strengths?
I am a 5'7 160 lb defensive back, and my strengths are my ball hawking ability and my will to come downhill and make a tackle. I also played on the other side of the ball at slot receiver, and also a return specialist. I pride myself on my football IQ and footwork.
What type of school are you looking for?
I'm looking for a school that can offer athletic scholarships, but I am open to and accepting all levels of college football. I'd like to go somewhere warm and that feels like home with a good sports management and, or athletic training program. School is a big priority to me, as it is required because I am an athlete, and I am looking for a school the sees me as someone useful early in my career.
What are your interests outside of Football?
Outside of football, I also run track and long jump and triple jump. I also participate in Young Life at our school and am real passionate about Jesus Christ. I also love hanging out with my two older brothers and also work on perfecting my craft on my free time.
