Kansas Soccer signs Kennidy Tallman as 6th member of recruiting class

LAWRENCE, Kan. – Kansas Soccer head coach Mark Francis announced the addition of Kennidy Tallman (Lake Worth, Florida) to the 2021 fall roster.

Tallman joins the current incoming class of Emma Beltz, Raena Childers, Maggie Gagne, Hayven Harrison and Olivia Winter to bring the newcomer total to six.

“We are very excited to add a player of Kennidy’s quality to our squad for the fall of 2021,” said Francis. “She can play at the center back or wide back spot. Kennidy is a tough 1v1 defender who is very composed on the ball and will fit in well with how we play and what we ask from our defenders in all phases of play.”

Tallman will look to join the Jayhawks for the upcoming campaign. The 2021 Big 12 soccer schedule was released on June 21 and can be found here. The full KU schedule will be released at a later date.
