Harvey Dwight Kindle (born August 31, 2002) is an American football wide reciever he previously played for Boston College and is currently a prospect for the 2025 DSFL Draft (S10).

Early years

Harvey Kindle was born in Fredricksberg, Texas but, he did not live there for very long. Work relocated his father to a different state, and after a long trip up north he learned it was a much different place. They specifically moved to Greendale, PA. A small city with an even smaller school (At least in sports terms). Harvey was eight years old when the move occurred and, he was very into numerous sports, but he lacked one big thing. Talent, the kid was just no good, and by all accounts, it took him almost two decades to gain that athletic ability.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          "Even at the age of 17, he still wasn't a starting player." says his former High School coach Rick Endall. "[but] then one day, he really started to show that athletic ability. You see he always had the playbook down, he just was not an athletically gifted kid...Thing is that type of ability doesn't usually just pop out of nowhere like magic, it was quite a transformation." Near the end of his junior year and, for his entire Senior year, Kindle was a stud. Quickly working his way into the number one spot and, into the hearts of many locals. It was an amazing thing to see, but it wasn't enough to get him the collegiate attention some believe he deserved

College career

There were plenty of Divison 2 schools who were showing interest in Kindle, it was almost guaranteed he would not be playing D1 ball in his freshman year. There was one bigger school who was willing to give the kid a shot, and it paid off greatly for them. "It's like he rises above whatever level of competition is out there for him. You think you've seen everything he can do, then he shows up the next day and, blows your mind again." - Martin Jarmond, Athletic Director, Boston College. He's not just talking up his guy, there were few games far and between where he didn't ball out one way or another. He did not come into BC the top college player, hell not even in the top 50, but by the end of last season, there were talks of him being up there in the top five picks in the upcoming DSFL draft. You can see a sharp incline on his for his two seasons in the NCAA. His first season was slow, due to limited reps, but he brought in 30 receptions on 41 Targets for, 474 yards, and 3 touchdowns. What really got him the spot was his YAC ability, out of the total yardage 295 of those yards came after that catch. He was becoming a short route specialist but, didn't quite have the speed or acceleration to hit that second gear on deep routes.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      That all changed come next season, "I swear he must have found a way to place the genes of a gazelle into his own damn body." said Some Nut Job off the Street. The fact of the matter is, the kid got quick, and I mean real quick. His technique and, skill was mostly centered around his footwork, and agility but, when he was at first mostly known for his route running abilities, he now became known as a bit of a burner and it showed! He brought the ball in on 98 out of 147 targets for, 1731 yards, and 13 touchdowns. An absolutely monumental jump from his last season, one that was not expected by many. There is no doubt that he rose to the occasion here in the NCAA but, it is widely debated whether or not he can have the same success in the DSFL and NSFL.
