Cheapseats mentioned it in another thread but I thought it worthy of its own.

Passed early this morning in Newport Beach. OD'ed on something laced with fentanyl.

Dude pretty much single-handedly put Hawaii football on the map in the mid-aughts.

He was injured badly in a 2010 car accident and never really fully recovered. A traumatic brain injury was involved, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if that had a lot to do with his addiction struggles.

Apparently he tried to check himself in to an inpatient rehab center just yesterday, but was turned away due to a lack of space.

Cheap said it best: "Addiction is a cruel associate."

RIP....

Leinarts backup. Took a class with him in college. Was a fun dude to talk to. Once he blew up I never saw him in class ever again haha.

Car accident in 2010 really scrambled his brain. Never been the same since
he was better than leinart. which college and class?
