Jimbo Fisher provides injury update on Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy

Texas A&M recruited one of the top classes of all time during the 2022 cycle, signing nine five-star prospects per the On3 Consensus. Defensive line was a key factor in the success, with Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy being the fifth highest-rated player in the class. However, he has been dealing with an injury and limited for the Aggies during fall camp.

Head coach Jimbo Fisher provided an update on Brownlow-Dindy during the SEC coach’s teleconference on Wednesday. The true freshman suffered an injury during the Under Armor All-American game and Fisher hopes he can be back in practice “pretty soon.”

“He’s healing from that injury he had from the All-American game,” Fisher said. “He’s recovering from the injury. He’s recovering extremely well and hopefully, he can maybe get some practice back here pretty soon. We’ll see.”

There are a lot of freshman names for Texas A&M fans to be excited about but Brownlow-Dindy may be near the top of the list. He was ranked the No. 13 overall prospect and No. 2 in the state of Florida. Being the No. 5 defensive lineman in the country, three other Aggie signees have the same designation as Brownlow-Dindy.

Scouting report on Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy

Texas A&M fans may have to wait to see Brownlow-Dindy and until then, all there is to base his talent off of is a scouting report. On3’s Charles Power provided one on the talented freshman coming out of high school, saying he projected as an interior player in college.

“Perhaps the most athletic and twitchy defensive lineman in several cycles. Burst on to the national radar prior to his junior season after putting on a testing display at the Elite Underclassmen Camp in Jacksonville, running a 4.8-second electronically timed 40-yard dash at 278 pounds. Has quick-twitch initial movement skills with fast and strong hands.

“Aggressive out of his stance with the hands. Wins with both quickness and physicality. Disruptive force that makes plays behind the line of scrimmage with regularity. Was highly productive as a junior with 29.5 tackles for loss. Will be a disruptor in the run game, and interior pass rusher at the next level. Fast closer with long-arms that makes play from the hash to the boundary.

“Plays defensive end in both four and three-man fronts for Lakeland High, but projects to the interior long-term.”
