Now with a walk-off touchdown in hand, Kennedy III plans to continue his role at slotback

Behind Georgia Southern's resurgence are many individuals getting their chance to better the team on both sides of the ball. Among the playmakers on the offensive side of the ball is sophomore receiver Wesley Kennedy III.

Kennedy III attended Benedictine Military School in Savannah, and has been involved in sports his entire life. He talked about his involvement in sports since just a young age.

"I played flag football since I was four," Kennedy III said. "I ran track, played basketball and baseball."

The sophomore has emerged as a force in the GS offense, gaining 131 yards on the ground and 140 yards through the air in just the first four games of the season, but Saturday was Kennedy's breakout party.
