Dude was a fucking beast. Didn’t he knock the contacts out of Taylor Potts?

I always wanted to see him line up in short yardage.

I think he was the first Dlineman I remember lining up in a 4 point stance all the time.

It doesn’t mention that he was one of the many 5-star freaks that got the classic Mack Brown “I don’t play young guys, gotta bleed for the program!” treatment. Dude should’ve started from Day 1 somewhere on defense.

I was in the endzone behind Potts. That video does nothing to demonstrate just how hard Kindle hit him. Tech fans still cry that it was a dirty hit (it wasn’t).

There used to be several slow-motion high-quality gifs of this hit that one could easily find.  But nothing came up in a recent Google search, and probably due to tightening up decency standards.

He was a mainstay on 6th street for a while. I think he was selling cars when I last shared drinks with him. Good to hear he’s getting back into football.

The demon of alcohol for sure.

Thanks for posting the link, great read. This guy was an absolute beast and amazing to watch and like everyone else, I was so sure he was going to be the next Derrick Johnson as far as making an impact in the NFL at the LB position. Tragedy after tragedy, some self-imposed, some less than.

It's really sad and encouraging to read this though and I'm rooting for him and wish him all the success in coaching.

Why not just wait until the offseason?

 

I don't think his head was completely working at that time.

Rak alone is badder than any edge rusher I've ever seen. Never seen a guy where, even at the NFL level, officials just turned a complete blind eye to offensive line holding calls for the sake of player safety.

Imagine if he'd played for an NFL team that wasn't a total dumpster fire.

Do you even Brackens, bro? 

The best hit Brackens delivered was on our coach. And for that, we will always be grateful.

I know of a Tech punter who would strenuously object.

Kicker actually...the holder who hot-potatoed it to the kicker is now an orthopedic surgeon btw 

To be fair he was right because Texas forced the pitch and it wasn't Brackens that did that...he was actually lined up in the A gap, gave almost 10 yards of ground to get around a Tech double team to literally blow up the ball carrier...the more I've watched it the more amazing that play is
