Miami desperately needs linemen, and worked quickly to get to the top of Kennedy’s list. The senior will graduate from Butler and play his final year of college in a Canes uniform.
Miami has going this route for players before. CB Dee Delaney was a grad transfer who stepped up to the FBS level from The Citadel in 2017.
At 6’5” 290lbs, Kennedy is well built, and in that he’s a grad transfer, he has physically matured and should be able to step into a starting role for Miami immediately in 2019.
