Robert Kennedy is on the move again.
The former Jeannette football standout is leaving East Carolina and will transfer to Old Dominion in Norfok, Va.
Kennedy, a 5-foot-10, 183-pound safety, played in five games last season as a junior, recording 13 tackles and three pass breakups for East Carolina.
He spent two seasons at Lackawanna, a junior college in Scranton, where he helped lead the team to the NJCAA national title game in 2019. He had 34 tackles, 3.5 sacks and four interceptions as a sophomore.
Kennedy will go from one FBS conference to another, leaving the American Athletic Conference for Conference USA, which houses Old Dominion, a school that offered him a scholarship when he was at Jeannette.
Kennedy entered the NCAA Transfer Portal on Dec. 1, according to 247sports.com.
He will have two years of eligibility at ODU.
