Ryan Kinnard didn’t make the transition to running back until his freshman year at Penncrest High School.
“I’ve played football my entire life. The first eight years I played center,” Kinnard said. “The coaches saw that I am a downhill runner and it’s something that I like to do.”
But Kinnard is far from a one-dimensional player. In last Friday night’s Media Bowl victory over Strath Haven, Kinnard helped disrupt a field-goal attempt that was blocked by teammate Zane Horne. The key special-teams play propelled the Lions to their first victory in 2015. Kinnard has carved out an athletic career as a player who is willing to wear multiple hats. He was a two-way standout for the Penncrest lacrosse team in 2014, ranking second on the team in goals (46) and third in assists (23). The All-Delco and All-American was a member of Penncrest’s state championship team in 2013 and is committed to play the sport at Hofstra in 2017.
