2021 (Sr.) | 14/14: Kincade retained his senior year of eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic and in turn – along with Jeremy Darvin and DeAngelo Malone – became the first Hilltopper Football players to ever earn five letters. He led the Hilltoppers and ranked sixth in Conference USA with 100 total tackles (54 solo, 46 assisted). He had four performances of 10+ tackles, including a season-high 14 vs. Indiana. He had two fumble recoveries – one against UTSA and one at Rice – and two tackles for loss. He had his fourth career interception – which he returned for 29 yards – at Old Dominion. He had one quarterback hurry – that forced a bad throw for an interception – vs. Middle Tennessee. His four pass breakups tied for fourth on the team, recording a season-high two vs. UTSA. He surpassed the 300 career tackle mark at Marshall, becoming only the fourth Hilltopper in the program’s FBS Era (since 2009) to reach that mark.
2020 (Sr.) | 12/12: Kincade started all 12 games at safety, ranking second on the team with a career-best 85 total tackles (48 solo, 37 assisted) behind Devon Key (92). Racked up at least six tackles in 10-of-12 games, including three double-digit performances on Sept. 19 vs. Liberty, on Oct. 24 vs. Chattanooga and on Nov. 21 vs. FIU. His eight pass breakups were the third-most on the Hilltoppers, posting a season-high two against the Panthers. Also recorded a quarterback hurry on Sept. 12 at Louisville and a forced fumble on Nov. 14 vs. Southern Miss. He will retain his senior year of eligibility due to the COVID-19 pandemic and in turn – along with Jeremy Darvin and DeAngelo Malone – will become the first Hilltoppers to earn five letters.
2019 (Jr.) | 13/12: Kincade played in all 13 games for the Hilltoppers, starting 12 on the season; he did not start the season opener vs. Central Arkansas due to an injury he suffered during fall camp, but still appeared in the contest. He totaled 84 tackles (43 solo, 41 assisted) – including three for loss – with two interceptions and five pass breakups. During a three-game stretch in the middle of the season, he had 31 tackles – including all three of his tackles for loss – and two pass breakups. One of those performances was a career-high 15-tackle display on Oct. 26 at Marshall, which tied for the fourth-best single-game output by a WKU defender in the FBS Era (dating back to 2009).
2018 (So.) | 11/2: Kincade recorded 29 tackles (16 solo, 13 assisted) and three pass breakups, starting in two contests and playing in 11 games as a sophomore. He tallied four tackles on six occasions, including a season-high five in the season opener on Aug. 31 at No. 4 Wisconsin, then again on Nov. 24 at Louisiana Tech. Kincade forced a fumble on Oct. 13 at Charlotte and added a quarterback hurry on Nov. 2 at Middle Tennessee.
2017 (Fr.) | 12/0: Kincade played in all but one game in his first season on The Hill, seeing time as a reserve nickelback and on special teams coverage, leading all true freshmen with 28 tackles. He grabbed his first-career interception in the fourth quarter on Sept. 9 at Illinois, which led to WKU’s lone touchdown of the game. He had a career game on Nov. 11 at Marshall, with seven tackles, two quarterback hurries and a pass breakup. He forced a fumble on kickoff coverage on Oct. 14 vs. Charlotte, and recovered a loose ball on Nov. 4 at Vanderbilt in punt coverage to give the ball back to WKU. He also racked up five tackles against the 49ers on Homecoming.
HS/Misc.: Kincade brought a Georgia 6A State Championship to The Hill after his Valdosta Wildcats won the 2016 Georgia High School Association championship during his senior season. He produced a first team all-state season for coach Alan Rodemaker as the Wildcats went 14-2. He tallied 90 total tackles (73 solo) as a senior. He was a two-star rated prospect by both Scout.com and Rivals.com.
