Brett Kikendall stands among the most decorated players in Cairn University Men's Soccer history. Over his four seasons with the Highlanders, he became known for his leadership, consistency, and technical skill that helped elevate the program to new heights.
During his career, Kikendall was named to All-Conference teams four times: Honorable Mention in 2016, Second Team in 2017, and First Team selections in both 2018 and 2019. His contributions were instrumental in guiding Cairn to several program milestones, including the team's first-ever Conference postseason appearance (2017), first Conference regular season title (2018), and a Conference All-Academic Team award (2017).
Statistically, Kikendall recorded 69 total points across his career and was recognized as the Cairn Men's Soccer MVP of the Decade (2010–2020) as well as a member of the program's All-Decade First Team.
Off the field, Brett and his wife run a successful videography company, which they have operated for five years. They are active members of the Church of Living Hope, where Brett contributes his creative talents to church video projects and media work.
Upon being named to the Hall of Honor, Kikendall shared his appreciation for the recognition, reflecting on the people and moments that defined his experience:
"It's an incredible honor and I'm very grateful to be recognized amongst such an esteemed group of individuals. This recognition is not only a reflection of my personal journey, but also of the support and inspiration from those who have been alongside me. Most of all, I'm thankful to have shared many challenges, laughs, and memories with my teammates and coaches during my four seasons."
