Meet KeNnEtH xUaN, NUT’s hardest working “low-key hilarious” (a quote from himself) member. When he’s not munching on fat handlers, or skinny handlers, or muscular handlers for that matter, you can find Kenneth sitting on the field picking at the grass as he discusses a call with an opponent for hours before the disc gets sent back. A 2020 STF all-star, Kenneth exemplifies every aspect of the prestigious highly coveted award. Kenneth is a great player with a bit of a mean streak and a penchant for crazy throws that end up working out a lot of the time (we don’t talk about the other times). He’s gotten to the level he’s at through hard work, dedication, and lots of video games.
2 lies and a truth
-Kenneth once dunk spiked a disc over a crossbar after catching an uncontested hold
-On the first morning of each tournament Kenneth eats the same thing. A McDonald’s biscuit with 27 crickets for protein.
-Kenneth produced 7 all-star quality highlight reels in week for the class of 2020.
All jokes aside, NUT would not be the same without Kenneth. We love him for his hard work, his heart, his jokes (he is hilarious, there was some truth in his saying that), and his competitive nature, amongst other things. I am glad I’ve been able to become his friend and I know my time at Northwestern would be worse if we hadn’t become teammates and friends. Luckily we get him back for another year cause he’s a dual degree nerd (I forgot to mention, top three nerd on NUT).
