Dean Kindig

1st in solos per game over his career. Dylahn Jordan McKinney will play in 2026 for Notre Dame. He previously played for the Oklahoma State Cowboys and Colorado Buffaloes. Spent 2 yrs at Sam Houston as a RB; now this is his first year at Colorado. Has size and oodles of length to interfere with your QB's best throws. He played opposite Travis Hunter last year. Best Big12 CB who's top five in the size-speed department. Very nice interview.
