Newton's Rod Kirkland ready for a new football start at Bluefield College
Rod Kirkland
Newton's Rod Kirkland catches a pick and returns it for the Rams during last season's 20-19 loss to No. 2 Archer. Kirkland let Newton DBs with four interceptions in 2017. He also recorded 39 tackles and a pass breakup.
For Rod Kirkland, it’s the play that stands out among all others, not just for his 2017 senior season, but for all three years of his time on the football field for Newton.
