Hall of Fame
After spending a brief time at Ohio University, Kenneth found himself wanting to attend a smaller college, so he transferred to then Findlay College in 1977. Once at Findlay, Ken was a member of the Findlay Football team. He was named to the NAIA All-American Team. As a fullback, he scored 102 points in the 1981 season, which puts him at a number four on the top season scorers, number three in season touchdowns and number two in rushing yards. He played nose guard for the NAIA National Championship team and was named to the All-District 22 Team. He still holds the Hoosier Buckeye Conference and UF record for the longest run from the line of scrimmage (96 yards). His football success with Findlay landed him a try-out with the Seattle Seahawks. In addition to his football accomplishments, one of Ken’s most satisfying moments while at Findlay was being appointed to tutor Professor Joseph’s anatomy class. Ken was also a member of the Black Student Union. A Cleveland native, Ken met his wife, Brinda James ’86, at Findlay. The two have three children, Kendra Tiara, Kenneth Cameron and Kendall Benjamin. Ken, who earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education, health and recreation in 1981, is a juvenile correctional officer for the Ohio Department of Youth Services, working for the Shaker Heights Board of Education. He and his family live in Shaker Heights.
