Kenny Pope was a fleet-footed yet hard-hitting cornerback for the Tiger football team. Pope holds the school record for career interceptions with 22, including a pair that he returned for touchdowns, and he also is one of five players with a program-best eight interceptions in a season, which led the NCAC in 1995. Also a standout for the Tiger track and field team, Pope ranks second in program history with 28 passes broken up in his career as he earned first-team All-NCAC awards all four years and the Hank Critchfield Award as the league’s Defensive Player of the Year in 1998. Pope, who later worked at Wittenberg as an admission counselor and also served as an advisor to the men’s and women’s rugby club teams, earned four All-America awards as he led the Tigers to a four-year record of 39-4 and a trio of league championships. A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Pope currently resides in his hometown.
