Rondale was a special talent. I still remember the game where Purdue crushed Taint. He had a monster game that day. He pretty much beat the brakes off of the Suckeyes by himself. Final score I think was 49-13.
Unfortunately, he suffered a bad injury his rookie season and was never the same. Even though he played a few years in the league, he was a shell of himself, and then he suffered another serious injury this past season.
This is no doubt a tragic loss. Gone way too soon. Prayers for all of his family and friends.
