2 QUESTIONS FOR KENAGY
Who is your biggest soccer influence and why?
Harry Kane has influenced the way I play soccer. I really like the way he approaches the game. He does not let things distract him, can score in many different ways, is a good teammate and he is dedicated to playing for his hometown team.
Why did you select Yale?
Because of its longstanding tradition of academic excellence as well as the strong sense of support and camaraderie on campus. I believe Yale will provide a perfect opportunity for me to continue to grow as a student and soccer player.
Coach Stannard on Kenagy: "Coincidentally, I remember watching Kyle while I was at Michigan State and really liked his work rate, toughness and courage. Kyle has pretty good pace and a relentless attitude to work and create havoc by asking questions of a backline and putting himself in dangerous positions to score goals. This is exactly something we need and I''m looking forward to seeing Kyle compete with our other forwards."
