Seahawks host former SEC Defensive Player of the Year winner for a tryout

Looking to bolster their reserve pass-rushing depth, the Seattle Seahawks evaluated former South Carolina standout Kyle Kennard during a recent workout. Kennard entered the league as a fourth-round selection for the Los Angeles Chargers in the 2025 NFL draft, later capturing recognition as the top defensive player in the collegiate ranks before sustaining an injury during joint practices against San Francisco and subsequently getting waived in September.

Seattle currently features a productive defensive front with sixteen sacks accumulated this year, though bottom-of-the-roster adjustments remain ongoing following roster shifts involving Connor O’Toole and Jared Ivey. During his brief stint with Los Angeles, Kennard appeared in five contests and logged two tackles while navigating the transition to the professional level.
