Full player profileDean Kindig
1-12 (12.0) got the first down vs #21 USC. At 6'6, 255, he is the heavy inline anchor for Bielema's run game, but keep an eye on his red-zone usage. He's a former highly-productive high school QB who racked up 34 total touchdowns and a State Finals appearance. Lunney Jr. Is weaponizing Abney's 4.56/9 wheels and his QB's spatial awareness to execute play-action delay routes inside the 10. Defenses get stuck in a lose-lose personnel trap trying to account for Abney's size. Low overall volume, but he's primed to be an elite red-zone touchdown specialist. Worth a deep dive before camp kicks off. Amazing athletic traits and fast. And Nice Dad!
