One of several stars who played for "Pop" Warner at the Carlisle Indian Institute early in the century, Exendine had never played football before he entered the school. Four years after his first football game, he was named an end on Walter Camp's third-team All-American team in 1906.
In 1907, Exendine scored on a 50-yard pass to help beat the University of Chicago 18-4. He became head coach at Otterbein College, Ohio, after leaving Carlisle in 1909 and had a 15-7-3 record there in 3 seasons. Exendine took over at Georgetown University in Washington, DC, in 1914. After a losing season in his first year, he produced eight winning teams.
Exendine went to Washington State University in 1923, winning 6 games, losing 13, and tying 4 in 3 seasons. He then coached at Occidental College in California, Northwestern Oklahoma, and Oklahoma A & M (now Oklahoma State). Overall, he had a record of 93 victories, 60 losses, and 15 ties.
While coaching Georgetown, Exendine received a law degree from Dickinson College. He was a lawyer with the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs for many years.
