By Darin Hayes October 2, 1909 – Joe “Tarzan” Kendall was a Kentucky State halfback, place kicker, punter, and passer. Football Foundation.org informs us that Kendall often used his running ability to avoid oncoming rushers, scrambling to buy time to let his receivers get open downfield, and then delivering the goods to them.
Kendall excelled at West Kentucky, a junior college in 1932, and earned 3rd team All-America honors before enrolling to play for the Kentucky State Thorobreds. Kentucky State ran a wide-open offensive system, and this suited Joe’s talents, and he thrived.
The National Football Foundation voted Joe into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2007.
