Devon Kennard was big-time at the USC camp this summer, and a No. 2 national ranking followed.
It’s not that Rivals.com doesn’t know what it’s doing when it comes to high school football. Actually they’re more up to speed than almost any other publication/website out there.
But when they moved Phoenix Desert Vista’s Devon Kennard into the No. 2 spot nationally among all high school football players, well, the excitement was less than palpable.
It’s not that Kennard doesn’t care. He does. But not that much. He’s got his list of five big-time programs and a good head on his shoulders (and some tough family members in his ear keeping his head below the clouds).
It’s the highest ranking ever for an Arizona football player, as Kennard one-upped former Avondale Agua Fria star (and current USC player) Everson Griffen for the state’s top honor.
Just don’t count on an invitation to the blowout celebration.
