Kenneth Earl "Junior" Hemingway Jr. (born December 27, 1988) is an American former professional football wide receiver.
Hemingway was the 2010 and 2011 Big Ten Conference leader in yards per reception, ranking third in all of Division I Football Bowl Subdivision as a senior.
He received 2011 All-Big Ten honorable mention and was the 2012 Sugar Bowl Most Outstanding Player.
[4] Prior to his 2006 senior season, USA Today listed him as one of six players to watch in the state of South Carolina based on his 56 receptions for 846 yards and 10 touchdowns.
[5] He was the second highest rated recruit in Michigan's class of 2007 (behind Ryan Mallett) according to ESPN.
[8] Sources: As a true freshman on the 2007 Michigan team, he appeared in 10 games, making his first start September 22 against Penn State.
[9][10] He was limited as a true sophomore by mononucleosis which caused him to miss the final eight games of the season for the 2008 team, but did make one start.
[7][12] Hemingway posted his first 100-yard reception game, first two-touchdown performance and a career-high five-reception effort in the September 5 season opener for the 2009 team against Western Michigan, during his third career start.
[7][10][12][13] He missed the following week's rivalry game against Notre Dame due to an ankle sprain.
It also included a 42-yard reception with 21 seconds left to put the ball on the four-yard-line before the game winning score on the next play in the 42–35 contest against Indiana.
[17][30][31] Before the game, Desmond Howard, who had worn number 21 before Hemingway at Michigan, was honored for his enshrinement in the College Football Hall of Fame, and the jersey number was designated to be adorned with a "Desmond Howard: Michigan Legend" patch on the upper-right chest.
[54][55] He ranked second among wide receivers (13 participated in this event)[52] and seventh overall in the 60-yard shuttle with a time of 11.16.
He seemed to have moved into the fourth wide receiver position behind Dwayne Bowe, Donnie Avery, and Dexter McCluster.
[75] Hemingway injured his hamstring in week 7 of the 2014 NFL season against the San Diego Chargers on October 19.
