Joseph Regional, and he averaged 5.3 points and 6.7 rebounds per game this past season.

Servite team as freshman was as a quarterback.

But Kennetts working to become a linebacker recruit, and he put his skills to the test in Fridays camp.

Kennett performed well enough for Notre Dame to become his first scholarship offer.The 6-1, 215-pound Kennett did linebacker drills and was even asked to do some pass rush drills against offensive linemen.

Kennett played with the ball in his hands as a freshman, which included 50 carries for 246 yards and three touchdowns and 133 passing yards on 18 completions of 29 attempts with three interceptions.

His passing numbers suggest quarterback wont be his long-term future, and his defensive skill set backed that up.Notre Dame previously offered a pair of Kennetts Servite teammates: 2026 four-star tight end Luke Sorensen and 2027 four-star linebacker Isaiah Leilua.

Servite sent tight end Troy Niklas and wide receiver Equanimeous St.

Brown in the 2011 and 2015 classes, respectively.AGTG!
