is coming off a very productive sophomore season. He led Dayton in rushing, carrying the ball 170 times for 1,509 yards and 18 touchdowns in 10 games. Kennedy is very difficult for defenders to bring down in the open field as he has the elusiveness to make them miss along with the strength to break tackles. He has also shown the breakaway speed to run away from the defense for a big gain at any given moment. Kennedy has also shown the ability to line up outside at receiver and pose as a dangerous threat in the passing game. Malachi finished his sophomore year as his team’s leading receiver, catching 13 passes for 274 yards and five touchdowns. He also recorded 58 tackles on defense this past season. Kennedy is a player who college coaches should definitely have on their radar heading into his junior year.

jumped onto my radar with a strong sophomore year. Kennedy led his team in rushing, carrying the ball 170 times for 1,509 yards and 18 touchdowns in 10 games. He has explosive speed which he uses to hit the running lane with a sense of urgency then run away from the defense on long runs. When defenders are able to catch up to him, he has shown the contact balance to break tackles with ease. Kennedy also played a key role in the passing game, leading Dayton in receiving with 13 catches for 274 yards and five touchdowns.
