Alabama DL named to AFCA Good Hands Team Watchlist for 2024
His faith propelled him to be a defensive starter for Alabama football in 2023. Tim Kennan III, a Birmingham (Ala.) native, has become a leader for the Crimson Tide. Now at 305 pounds, the 6-foot-2 nose tackle finished last year with 38 total tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, a sack, seven quarterback hurries, and a quarterback hurry — helping the Tide win a Southeastern Conference Championship. He is growing into his style on the field, but Kennan is special in the Tuscaloosa and Birmingham communities. Kennan recently held his youth football camp in Birmingham, proving smiles, laughter, fun, and teachable moments for everyone.
