Early years
Kurt Hendrix was born to tackle people, as a baby he literally jumped out of the womb and speared the doctor attempting to deliver him. As the son of an Army officer, Hendrix grew up in an environment of extreme discipline. He has a strict diet that includes thirty eggs per day and a rigorous exercise routine. Although there isn't video of it, rumors say Hendrix tackled an entire offensive line at once during his legendary high school career. That HS career took place at Warren, one of the highest populated schools in the LA area. His parents didn't want him sheltered going to some rich ass quire boy school like Mater Dei or St. John Bosco. As a Los Angeles native, it was natural to stay in the are and sign with the USC Trojans as a five star recruit.

College career
He was a four year starter at USC and picked up serious hardware along the way: Butkus award winner, Heisman finalist, National champ, and led the country in tackles for loss. Instead of staying in the dorms like a normal college student, Hendrix slept on a bench in the weight room using a football as a pillow. Hendrix could play any LB position in a 4-3 but could also thrive playing one of the inside spots in a 3-4 defense. All the evidence points to one thing, he might just be the best linebacker talent since Lawrence Taylor.
Scouting report- Relentlessly pursues ball carriers, could drop into pass coverage, and is an effective pass rusher. Delivers bone crushing, brain rattling hits. Has great closing burst, is a sound tackler, and has great instincts. He makes or is near every tackle. No character concerns. Would run in front of a train for his team. He could be over aggressive at times. His all out playing style has led to injuries. He has suffered ten concussions but has dished out 15x that in return.
