Bill Kenney
Tackles and Tight Ends
In his 24th year on the staff, Bill Kenney coaches the offensive tackles and tight ends. He was
instrumental in developing tackle Dennis Landolt into a 2009 first-team All-Big Ten honoree and third-
team All-American. He also helped mold a unit that opened lanes for Evan Royster to become Penn
State's sixth 1,000-yard rusher since 2002. Kenney was essential in the development of two-time All-
America tackle Levi Brown, the No. 5 pick in the 2007 NFL Draft. He helped develop a unit that paved
the way for Larry Johnson to become just the ninth 2,000-yard rusher in NCAA history in 2002. Kenney
was critical in the development of 2000 first-team All-Big Ten tackle Kareem McKenzie, a nine-year NFL
veteran. Kenney also helped produce a pair of first-team All-Americans in 1994 and `95, guard Jeff
Hartings and tight end Kyle Brady, both first-round NFL draft choices. Kenney worked with the offensive
line (1995-99), tight ends and offensive line and was recruiting coordinator in 1992, an area where he
remains very active. A graduate assistant coach with the Nittany Lions in 1988, he became full-time in
1989. The Randolph, Mass., native is a graduate of Norwich University where he was a three-year
starter. He coached a year at Norwich, three years in high school and two seasons as a graduate
assistant at Nebraska before arriving at Penn State.
