- Title:
- Graduate Assistant/Defense
Kenny McClendon is in his second season as a graduate assistant on defense for the Cyclones.
ISU’s 2017 season was one of the best in the history of the program. The Cyclones compiled an 8-5 record, the second-most wins in school history, and scored a victory in the 2017 Liberty Bowl over Memphis, only the fourth bowl win in the history of the program.
Iowa State also broke its school record for wins over ranked opponents (3), victories on the road (5), wins vs. conference opponents (5) and appeared in the AP national rankings for the first time in 12 years.
McClendon was a defensive graduate assistant at Central Michigan in 2015 and 2016, helping the Chippewas to a pair of bowl berths.
A native of St. Louis, Mo., McClendon also assisted his high school alma mater DeSmet Jesuit and Lindenwood University prior to his stint as a graduate assistant at CMU.
McClendon earned his degree at CMU in 2013 where he was a four-year letterwinner on the defensive line. McClendon played in 47 career games for the Chippewas, recording 37 tackles, 7.0 TFL and five forced fumbles.
