Comment: The current sources are far from establishing notability. See the additional sources provided in the comments that may help and integrate if appropriate. Greenman (talk) 08:17, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

Comment: Pretty accomplished for a high-level program, although there wasn't as much coverage as I expected. A few stories jointly-focused on him and Vaughn Hebron: [1] [2] [3] - as well as one story about solely Kennedy ([4]), although focusing on him having a game ball. Its of note that he did not appear in any games with the Cowboys (NFL) or Gold Miners (CFL), with what appears to have been only offseason stints. I don't have a strong opinion on whether this should be accepted or declined. BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:44, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Comment: Will take a look. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:13, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
