Former Oklahoma quarterback Austin Kendall has had a winding road of a collegiate career.
After losing out on the starting job with the Sooners to Kyler Murry in 2018, Kendall elected to enter the transfer portal where he eventually landed in Morgantown with West Virginia.
He had a bit of a good and bad first year with the Mountaineers, appearing in nine games and going 187/304 passing for 1989 yards and 12 touchdowns. Despite the good things he did, he once again lost a quarterback competition entering the 2020 season to Jarrett Doege.
On Thursday, after throwing only six passes all season long, Kendall entered the game in the second half of West Virginia’s game against Army in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl.
Down 21-10, he proceeded to toss two touchdown passes and lead the Mountaineers to a come-from-behind 24-21 win to cap off their season. Time will tell what this means for Kendall’s future going forward, but his up-and-down career certainly had a big up on Thursday afternoon,
West Virginia concludes their season at 6-4 with the win in the second year under head coach Neal Brown.
