South Carolina football star Kyle Kennard makes midseason All-American squad
On Friday, South Carolina football senior EDGE player Kyle Kennard received another major honor. The Sporting News revealed their midseason All-American team, and the fifth-year senior made the cut. The news comes just a day after Kennard’s addition to two major award watch lists.
Kennard currently sits in the top-5 national statistical rankings for sacks (7.5) and tackles for loss (11.5). Because of that, the Gamecocks’ top transfer portal addition was an easy choice for the team.
