📡 Byron Holdbrooks had a massive heart attack on Sunday night

Not sure if any of you remember him but he passed away Sunday evening

He was a teammate of mine in '89 and '90.

Oh wow. Sorry to hear that. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. Rest in peace, big fella.

Check out Holdbrooks just a few seconds into this video (around the 0:21 mark) to start off the 1990 Iron Bowl:

Why do we keep losing old linemen? Scott Allison passed a few weeks ago.

Bummer! No I hadn't heard. Played high school ball at Haleyville. Prayers for his family.

@PhillyGirl, I love that video.

@PhillyGirl, Byron hit one of our transfer QBs like that during a drill that was supposed to be "thud"! That is, you wrap him up but don't take them to the ground. Brent White, was a transfer from Colorado State, and had to have his throwing shoulder surgically repaired. Byron knew only one speed.

Damn! Sounds like a guy I'd want on my team for sure.

Saw Kevin Turner a few times as well in those highlights.
