Kindley motivated to prove other college programs wrong

Each time Solomon Kindley hits the football field, he has something to prove.

A former three-star prospect out of Jacksonville, Florida, Kindley wasn’t a highly-recruited player. According to 247Sports.com, Kindley held 11 scholarship offers, with Georgia and Auburn being the only ones from the SEC.

And the Georgia offer didn’t come until after head coach Kirby Smart assembled his coaching staff following his hiring. On the job for only a short time, offensive line coach Sam Pittman identified Kindley as a powerful presence and wanted to bring him in with Smart’s first class.

Since his commitment and signing, Kindley has wanted to show the other college coaches who passed what they are missing out on.
