Offensive Tackles & Tight Ends In his 21st year on the staff, Bill Kenney coaches the offensive tackles and tight ends. He helped develop a 2007 unit that opened lanes for Rodney Kinlaw to become Penn State's fourth 1,000-yard rusher in the past six seasons. Kenney was instrumental in the development of two-time All-America tackle Levi Brown, the No. 5 overall selection in the 2007 NFL Draft. He helped mold a unit that paved the way for Larry Johnson to become just the ninth 2,000-yard rusher in NCAA history in 2002. Kenney was instrumental in the development of first-team All-Big Ten tackle Kareem McKenzie in 2000, a third-round NFL draft choice and eight-year NFL veteran. Kenney also helped produce a pair of first-team All-Americans in 1994 and `95, guard Jeff Hartings and tight end Kyle Brady, both of whom were first-round NFL picks. Kenney worked with the offensive line from 1995-99 and previously coached the tight ends and offensive line. He was recruiting coordinator in 1992, an area where he remains very active. He was a graduate assistant with the Lions in 1988, becoming full-time in 1989. The Randolph, Mass. native is a graduate of Norwich University where he was a three-year starter. He coached at Norwich for a year, in high school for three years and was a graduate assistant at Nebraska for two seasons before arriving at Penn State.
