Brian Kennedy was pivotal part of the turnaround of Concord football during the early part of the 2010s. In the final three years of his career, Kennedy helped the Mountain Lions to three straight winning seasons from 2009-11 after CU had not a winning season since 1998. The former Concord rusher was on the 2011 conference championship team, the first league title for the Mountain Lions since 1990. Kennedy wrapped up his career as the leader rusher at Concord with 4,188 yards and currently ranks second in career rushing yards. Kennedy's 38 career touchdowns also rank second in program history. He was voted to the All-WVIAC First Team three times and was an all-region pick in 2009, 2010 and 2011 and even made Don Hansen Football Gazette's All-American Team as an Honorable Mention pick  in 2010.
