Kellen Kempf - Boonville, MO 2011

[FootballDad]

Here's the guy leading Missouri RB's in virtually all categories this year so far after 4 games. Naturally Kellen Kempf is one of those melanin-challenged kids. He also plays FS on defense. Boonville is undefeated this year, they are a Missouri class 3A team (out of 6).
So far he has 902 yards on 91 carries (almost 10 yards a carry) with 11 TD's and a long run of 88 yards. I'll see if I can dig up any film on this kid to see what kind of runner he is. He's 5'10" at 182 pounds, which is a decent size for a high school back.

Kellen is a very impressive player i've seen him before, But Ithought he is only a junior. He is one of those guys that would be starting for the Missouri Tigers as a freshman if he were black, but because he is white expect him to end up like Danny Woodhead.

He's a senior. Boonville has a good squad this year (all white, of course) and I'm hoping that they can put together a good run and make it to the Show Me Bowl Div. 3A championships. That's probably the only way I'll get to see Kellen play in person. You're right, though, if he had a tad more melanin in his skin, he's be highly recruited. But since he's of the wrong race, he's just an anonymous white kid playing a black kids position in the middle of nowhere, MO.
