What an incredible achievement.

This is amazing news! I remember very vividly a few years ago when we couldn’t find anyone who could kick a 25-yard FG consistently. What a blessing to have this young man the last few years!!

Congrats, Kenny!!!!

So happy for Kenny!!! Amazing news.

Very thankful he stayed for his last year. Last year’s winner was in the MAC. Bama poached him.

He has become one of my all time favorites.

Viva Kenny!! Excelente!

I am thoroughly surprised. I know he deserved it, but I did not expect him to get it.

Surprised because he made 2nd team All American, then won the award. There are other All American teams to be announced. He should now make 1st team. BTW, was Coach Dez at the award ceremony with him? Hope so. A great moment for Almendares and for UL!

Congrats to Kenny the Kicker! What an honor for him and UL!

Interestingly, nothing reported about this in The Advocate. Should be a top headline.
