It’s been a quick rise for 2027 Kingwood (Tex.) four-star offensive tackle Kennedy Brown.
The 6-foot-5, 285 pound sophomore started playing football in the seventh grade in Indiana, where he lived at the time, moved to Texas in eighth grade and fell in love with the sport.
“We went like 1-9 in eighth grade, but I’m like, dang I lowkey love this,” he said. “So I just started taking it more seriously.”
Then, he tore his ACL, which sidelined him for his freshman season. Recovery was difficult, but he cites the support of friends and family who were on his side through his recovery.
Healed and starting on varsity this past fall, Brown helped lead Kingwood to a 9-5 record and the Mustangs’ first-ever regional final appearance. His recruitment took off in the process, and national evaluators took notice.
