During his college years, Kenny also played several seasons for Fresno Fuego of the USL Premier Development League, leading them to a league title and a National Semi-Final appearance to be named Co-Defensive player of the year. [8] [9]

After graduating from Sacramento State, Kenny spent 2010 training with Major League Soccer side Real Salt Lake. [10]

In February 2011, Kenny signed his first professional contract with the Rochester Rhinos in the USL Pro. [11] Former UCSB teammates Tyler Rosenlund and Alfonso Motagalvan were teammates. [12] He made his professional debut on May 10, 2011, in a game against the Harrisburg City Islanders, which was his only USL Pro appearance for the club.
