Full player profileDean Kindig
Ruled out for the rest of the 2025 season with a hand injury. Romaine posted a 90.7 run defense grade on PFF last season. He has amazing play strength, great effort and fights through blocks. He's reportedly reliable in coverage, but one of the lowest LBs in career solo tackles per game. But confusingly. Romaine was fifth in the Big 12 in defensive stops (41) at K-State in just 9 games in 2025.
