Hall of Honor
Kennard was a dominating defensive force for the Rams. A defensive tackle, he twice earned first team All-LSC honors and was named a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) first team All-American in 1976. Following his ASU career, he was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Houston Oilers and played seven seasons in the NFL (1977-83), all with the Oilers. As a rookie he made three sacks and one safety against the Seattle Seahawks on November 20, 1977. During the 1981 season, Kennard recorded 91 tackles at nose tackle which stood at the No. 7 most in a single season in Oiler history until the early 90s. His career ended in 1983 after a knee injury.Â
