Linzy was my first College Football Hero. I was a 7 years old when I saw him play at T.C.U. He was fast, ran great routes and had great hands. I'll always remember him.

My deepest condolences to the family and friends during this most difficult time. There are no words that can ease the pain of losing someone so beloved. May you find comfort and peace in knowing that your love one is in God's memory because those who pass on "are precious in his eyes." (Psalms 116:15)

Linzy and I played together at Henderson County and TCU. He was a great ball player, a good man, and a fun guy. I enjoyed being his teammate and was proud when he was inducted into the TCU Hall of Fame this year.
May happy memories of Linzy help to sustain you.
