Brandon “NuNu” Kennedy, senior quarterback for the Elysian Fields Yellowjackets, is the kind of player who does it all — and then some. This season alone, he’s rushed for over 800 yards and 17 touchdowns, thrown for nearly 500 yards and six more scores, and even lined up as a receiver, catching three passes for 120 yards and a touchdown. On defense, he’s a force, with 66 tackles, an interception, and two fumble recoveries — one taken all the way back for six.
But football is just part of the story. NuNu’s a multi-sport standout, competing in baseball, basketball, cross country, track, and tennis — a rare combination of talent, toughness, and tenacity that defines East Texas athletics.
Welcome to “bEASTtexas Conversations” on The Write Team Podcast, where we shine a light on the athletes, coaches, and personalities who make East Texas sports the best in Texas. Around here, the games are big, but the stories are even bigger.
