Where are living now?
Chicago

What are you doing now?
I sell autonomous robots

Married? Children?
Not married yet, but my fiancée and I will be in fall ‘26. No kids.

Did you play collegiately?
Yes. Elon University

What is the fondest memory from your playing career at DeSales?
It’s a tie between the run we went on to make it to the state championship my junior year and the dance battles we had before games.

What made playing for DeSales so special?
The brotherhood and tradition. DeSales does a great job of incorporating alumni into the program, whether that’s having alumni come back to talk to the team or coaches sharing stories about past games and players. It makes you feel like you’re part of something that’s bigger than you. The bonds and memories you create with your teammates during your time there are unforgettable. There’s nothing like wearing that purple and white on Friday nights!

What was your best game?
Probably against Cardinal Mooney my senior year. I rushed for over 100 yards and had 2 TDs that game. We got smacked by Mooney in the state championship the year before, so it was nice to get some revenge.

What was it like playing for Coach Wiggins?
Coach Wiggins was awesome to play for. He made sure his teams played smart, with discipline, and were tough. He’s helped a ton of players get recruited to play in college and get a free education even though he told us freshman year not to play for him if we wanted to go D1 lol.

Do you still follow the Stallions and if so, how closely?
Yep! I keep up with the scores and highlights on social media.

Kendrick (43) appeared in 13 career games at Elon
