Missouri's first pledge in the 2026 class, Anthony Kennedy Jr. has been listed at some variation of a defensive end, but he recently got switched to defensive tackle, a spot likely more suitable for his size at 6-foot-6, 334 pounds. Defensive line coach Al Davis, who mainly works with interior linemen, has recruited Kennedy since the three-star's ninth grade year, but a connection to Arkansas also played a role in that.
Kennedy is listed as the No. 6 recruit in Arkansas and No. 30 defensive tackle in the Class of 2026. He lost his fourth star in June 2024 after a rough stretch on the camp circuit, but he's steadily climbed back up in the rankings.
