Originally from the Bronx, N.Y., Kenny had several colleges looking at him, but he ultimately made the choice to go to CUA, over 200 miles away from home. Like several of the students who commit to CUA, he desired to be close to the city of Washington, D.C. and he felt like the Cardinals were a team he wanted to be a part of.

The Cardinals offensive lineman loves talking the game nearly as much as he enjoys playing it. But talking and playing football aren’t the only things O’Shea excels at. He’s also one of the top leaders in the football program, and he uses those leadership skills to connect with fellow student-athletes on his other passion, which is his faith.
