Kentavius Street

Golden Nuggets

• Street's athletic ability was featured in a viral video of his 700-pound squat at a NC State workout.
• His cousin, Kiwaukee Thomas, played eight seasons in the NFL with the Jaguars, Bills and Dolphins. After his playing career was over, Kiwaukee got into coaching, was named the head football coach at Middle Georgia State University and is now the defensive coordinator at Oklahoma Panhandle State University.
• Along with Bradley Chubb (Denver Broncos – 5th overall), B.J. Hill (New York Giants – 69th overall) and Justin Jones (Los Angeles Chargers – 84th overall), Street became the final player from NC State's starting defensive line to be drafted in 2018. It marks the first time since 2013 that a school's entire starting defensive line was selected in the same draft (LSU – 2013).

• Street's grandfather, who served in the Marine Corps, gave him advice in the first grade that would last a lifetime. He told Kentavius that no matter the circumstance, he was going to have to outwork the competition. Street states that he has taken that mindset and carried it with him everywhere he goes - in the classroom, on the field, in the weight room and in the community.
• One of Street's favorite memories comes from a tightly-contested, 10-3 home victory over Notre Dame in 2016. The game was played under unique circumstances, as Hurricane Matthew had recently struck the east coast and transformed the field to a 100-yard slip and slide with a constant downpour in addition to 20-plus mile per hour winds attacking the field. "It was a battle to the very end," Street said. "It was such a fun, well-fought victory."
• Street and his fellow rookies participated in the annual 49ers Mentorship Academy in September of 2018. The Mentorship Academy, partnering with USA Football, is a three-step program designed to provide high school football players with the opportunity to develop the skills necessary to succeed and be leaders on and off the field. The rookie class invited the high schoolers to the team facility, where they shared opinions and lessons over a meal and fun competitions.
• Members of the 49ers defensive line spent time with 25 local youth from the Fam 1st Foundation at Shoe Palace for a special holiday shopping experience on December 16, 2019. The Fam 1st Foundation is based in Oakland and focuses on underserved youth, aiming to build new generations of innovative thinkers to create solutions for the future of Oakland and beyond.
• The 49ers and their families hosted 450 underserved boys and girls from the Bay Area for the first-ever 49ers Hope for the Holidays event. Each child had a once-in-a-lifetime experience traveling through Levi's Stadium and left with a brand new bike, helmet, lock, haircut, shoes, toys, glasses, backpack, dinner and more.
