Matt here is a story about a college athlete that should be explored. David Hodge was All American as Sophmore at University of Houston. He is in the Texas Collegiate Hall of Fame and had an amazing game in the Cotton Bowl. He left the team for reasons he never discussed and never played again. I played with him in high school. He has never told any of us why he left when he definately had an NFL job ahead of him

[@Himothyproductions1]

Yea he needs to do this

[@rootsmanpierre]

Come down to aransas pass, just saw him the other day. It was rough the first couple years after his college years, right now he is doing a lot better.

[@GrannySingaporePVP]

Matt, as a VFL, I’d love to see your video on Inky Johnson. Dude was another 1st rounder for TN who’s life took a turn just before the NFL. He’s an AMAZING person

[@derekjones2604]

I have both and PTSD I'm doing fine This to will pass God has this Tommy Blake Much love from Oklahoma

You don't get depressed about anything. You get depressed due to changes in your brain chemistry. I once told a co worker I was depressed. She said " cheer up, you don't have anything to be depressed about". I said, " I'm not sad. I'm depressed".

[@davidbrooks1724]

I never understood it younger. As I get older I can understand a lot better. You are very correct

[@deakon071]

Thank you!!! Someone needed to cover this story. This couldn't have been easy to research but this story is definitely one that needed to be told. Thank you again

[@jameswhittington2318]

We really don’t have the right to know what happened with him. When people want to be left alone, they should be left alone.

[@davevillage8234]

Nice content. Way to spice up the off-season.

[@xguudaxcoax4560]

And this is why this community is so GREAT. Knowledgeable, love for the game, teams and players while showing pride in our own personal teams. Great story and would of never known without this community.

My ex wife suffers from the same disorder. It makes people do weird not normal things.

[@divinityjudge1920]

Hey Matt, this reminds me of Dri Archer.

[@anthonykielman5469]

Brother, I am a horned frog thru and thru but I really don't remember this guy and this was at the time that was looking at schools to go to after highschool one of which was TCU where I ultimately ended up but I do not remember this guy it kinda makes me feel bad

[@cdlhighlights1444]

If you’re doing this story you gotta do that center for the raiders b4 the 2003 Super Bowl ( I think it was 2003 but it was def early 2000’s)

[@deakon071]

Barrett Robbins. Man, that guy had some screws loose. Pretty sure drugs were a major factor

[@bipbopboom5932]

Derrick Green 5 ⭐️ RB from Richmond who Committed to Michigan I believe it was 2013 when he committed dude was a bust but idk how it all unraveled for him

[@kingwilliams8865]

Don’t ever judge anyone off mental health

[@josephleeortiz8809]

Matt... i can tell you what happened. Tommy was one of my best friends growing up. Put it plan and simple, a death in his family theu his family for a whirlwind. He lost the most important family member in his family and he struggled with that, as many do. His rock was gone and he lost site of his path.

[@OneOut1]

Depression isn't the same as being depressed medically Matt. You should change medical schools.

[@_smittyallen13]

Some people just can’t handle the pressure. And I just think that’s what it was

[@peterkeigwin847]

I had heard he got shot but I never saw it in the news

[@RoyOrbisonsElvisTape]

Hope there is not a WITSEC agent out there, screaming; "Blake Thomas now has a blown cover, and needs to be relocated from Albuquerque, Pronto!"

[@derekjones2604]

Just can't turn off the phone Doesn't work that way

[@Beat908]

Listening to you explain this makes me depressed

[@TheReal9721]

Is he from tampa I see you have tampa high highlights at the beginning of the video my school Hillsborough,Jefferson,armwood

[@donnaleighjenkins4952]

Wow, that is weird but it is also very sad. A young man, Dad probably wasn't in his life, and he didn't know how to handle all the new found "real stardom". Plus Matt, if he already had any tendencies at all with depression or anxiety all the new "stardom" could have made these problems intensify. I hope he is doing good and got some help and is living a nice life. Thanks for the story Matt, very interesting!! ROLL TIDE!!

Hey , bro look into this cat name thunder collins a former player from the Nebraska Cornhusker I think it’ll be a good one I promise.

Also just a heads up, the videos from high school you are showing, are not of Tommy.

[@mjaymerakiupdates]

[@Therealtjriddell_PMP]

Yo Matt, You can take my word for it, but I heard he is homeless in Aransas Pass from a reliable source that I know. It’s a shame to see such talent from the Coastal Bend area to go to waste.

[@mikerob2158]

Sorry to hear that. Prayers up for the young man to get om his feet
