Kennedy named to Inaugural FCS Punter of the Year Watch List

by DRAKE LOHSE

A punter’s perspective is quite strange. How many kids claw over on another to be the punter in backyard games? How many punters jerseys do we see on sport store racks? In a game of inches the punter decides where the opposing team will start their drive. For many football fans the punter often gets boiled down to a single syllable: Who?

For Drake that ‘who’ is Ross Kennedy, former Cedar Rapids Washington standout. Kennedy helped guide the Warriors to second place in 2014, and the quarterfinals in 2015 averaging 36 yards/punt and 17 punts inside the 20 yard line.
