#7-DEONTEY KENNER University of Cincinnati Bearcats 6:01.5-204

ANALYSIS
Positives... Well-built athlete with quick feet...Has good velocity behind his tosses, able to throw long while on the move...Throws a tight spiral in the short-to-intermediate range...Stays cool under pressure and steps up in the pocket with confidence...Has a good feel inside the pocket and relies on his quickness to get him out of trouble...Shows the football instincts to improvise when the play breaks down.

Negatives... Needs to refine his technique getting to his throwing point...Makes the receivers work too much to get to the ball on deep routes...Side-arm slinger who carries the ball too low to his side, resulting in some costly fumbles...Forces the ball into traffic, mostly because of his inability to find his secondary targets as he tends to get "tunnel vision" in going to his primary receiver... Has only a functional command of the offense and marginal field vision...Does not read defenses efficiently and despite his quickness, he is no danger for a defense as a scrambler...Long tosses tend to float and sail.

CAREER NOTES
Moved into the starting lineup during his sophomore year, displaying a nice, soft touch on his intermediate tosses...Completed 498 of 922 passes (54.0%) for 6278 yards and 31 touchdowns during his career, adding 280 yards and eight scores on 113 carries (2.5 avg)...His 992 pass attempts broke the old school career-record of 899 by Danny McCoin (1984-87) while his 498 completions rank second to McCoin's 544...Only McCoin (6801) gained more yards passing in a career for the Bearcats...His 31 touchdowns rank behind McCoin (39), Gene Rossi (37, 1949-52) and Greg Cook (34, 1966-68) in Cincinnati annals.
