Why Maryland: "I chose Maryland for the opportunity. Wrestling in the Big Ten is a great opportunity for me and I believe Maryland is a great place for me to develop."

Head Coach Alex Clemsen on Kennedy: "Ryan Kennedy is a Big Ten athlete. He will fit in great with Clemsen and Company and the work our staff did to attract and sign Ryan, the best unsigned senior in the country, is a huge win for our program. Cannot wait to get him to College Park! He will be a huge addition as we continue moving Maryland Wrestling forward."
