Devon Kennard (born June 24, 1991) is an American football linebacker for the New York Giants of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Giants in the fifth round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He played college football at USC.
As a sophomore in 2006, Kennard recorded 81 tackles and seven quarterback sacks. During his junior year, he had 111 tackles and 24 ½ sacks, helping the Desert Vista Thunder to the Class 5A Division I title game. For his senior year, Kennard was expected to play both fullback and tailback on offense for the Thunder in addition to his defensive duties, until top tailback Marcus Washington, an Arizona State recruit, returned from a stress fracture in his leg.
In Desert Vista's 21-20 victory over Chandler High School, Kennard suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, causing him to miss the rest of the football season. On the season Kennard had 16 carries for 132 yards with five touchdowns. Defensively, he had 18 tackles and 1½ sacks while facing double and triple teams. He played in the 2009 U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
