After winning five games in 2020, the Gators doubled their win total in 2021 and finished 10-2 in large part to the play of their All-District quarterback Kenyon Terrell. The junior field general threw for 2,072 yards and 21 touchdowns while gaining 413 more yards and nine more scores on the ground.
The 5’11’’, 175-pound, dual-threat quarterback has a unique ability to read opposing defenses to effectively run this RPO offense. Terrell has good athleticism and a strong arm.
This Class of 2023 recruit has plans to attend a lot of college camps and hone his craft during the offseason to have another great season in 2022.
In an exclusive Recruiting News Guru interview, I caught up with Kenyon to talk about his successful junior season.
