— Jarred Evans (@JEvans_12) September 25, 2014 Based on his recent social media posts, Kennedy-Palmore was a motorcycle enthusiast. On the field, he was a mostly a scout team player. The redshirt sophomore played high school football at Lakota East in Liberty Township, Ohio.
His death comes almost exactly one year after the passing of Bearcats offensive lineman Ben Flick.
