Larry Kendrick only played one season of football (2003), but what a season it was. The sophomore transfer from the University of Florida was the most valuable player in the MACJC-Region 23 to go along with his national Defensive Player of the Week, NJCAA All-America and NJCAA Defensive Player of the Year honors, as he led the Wildcats to the MACJC state championship.

Kendrick was a two-way performer who played under coach Tim Hatten at PRCC. He was named to the MACJC first team as a wide receiver and second team as a defensive back.

Kendrick led the state and nation in interceptions with nine while his 86 points (14 touchdowns, 1 two-point conversion) were tops in the league. His 688 receiving yards (32 receptions) were second in the state, while he led the MACJC in punt returns, averaging 16.7 yards per return.

“Larry was one of the best players to ever play at Pearl River Community College,” said Hatten. “He was a talented player and I enjoyed coaching him.”

Following his career at PRCC, Kendrick signed with Ole Miss.
