Robert “Poogie” Kennedy has one more semester left at Lackawanna before, concievably, he embarks on the next chapter of his football career.

The former Jeannette star who has shined as a safety at the junior college level, continues to draw Division I interest.

Lackawanna (10-1) finished runner-up in the NJCAA after a loss to Mississippi Gulf Coast in the national title game. But Kennedy is reaping the benefits of the extended season and accompanying exposure.

He added Marshall, a FBS program, to his growing list of suitors, which also includes Western Carolina and Tennessee-Martin, others to recently enter the ring.

Masschusetts is another FBS school that offered the 5-foot-10, 185-pound Kennedy.

His other FCS offers are from Duquesne, Robert Morris, Sacred Heart and Albany.

Kennedy had 34 tackles, five interceptions, nine pass breakups and 3.5 sacks this season for Lackawanna.

Amazingly, he has only one loss in his last 28 football games.
