Following in the footsteps of a program legend is no easy task, but in three-star offensive tackle Tye Kennedy's case, continuing the legacy of his father, former Washington Huskies star offensive lineman Lincoln Kennedy, he's more than prepared for what's next.
The 6-foot-4, 270-pound product of Mountain View High School in Arizona, who is ranked as the nation's No. 634 overall prospect and No. 59 offensive tackle by the 247Sports Composite, committed to his father's alma mater on July 1, choosing the Huskies over Arizona State, Michigan, and Utah, giving offensive line coach Michael Switzer some promising depth at tackle.
After growing up as a Husky fan thanks to his father, Kennedy stated that the plan Switzer and Jedd Fisch have to develop him behind presumed 2027 tackles Kodi Greene and John Mills.
"I feel like they have a great plan for me," Kennedy told Rivals following his pledge. "They're building something really special, and I just see myself being a part of it. They have a really great program...my future teammates are really great people, and I just love everything about it."
On film, the younger Kennedy, who missed the majority of his junior season with an injury, is an impressive athlete who clearly understands some of the finer points of playing the position thanks to his background. While he may need some time to continue developing physically and adding weight to his frame, Kennedy has all the tools necessary to carry on his father's legacy on Montlake.
"I'm a hard worker, I'm very dedicated, very dedicated to football," Kennedy added. "I'm a great student, and I'd do everything in my power to help this program grow. I'm excited to step on campus."
