Earlier this week, I stumbled across a story about former Texas Tech running back Corey Dauphine and it made me think about the recruiting class of 2015, of which he was a major part. The story was that the former highly-coveted recruit and current member of the Tulane football program has suffered a torn Achilles tendon which will cause him to miss the upcoming season, which would have been his sixth and final as a collegiate after he was granted a waiver by the NCAA this offseason.
Though the news is certainly devastating for Dauphine, I couldn’t help but think about how appropriate it was for the last member of Tech’s 2015 signing class still active in the NCAA to go out with a whimper.
