Reply To: RIP UCLA S Kenny Easley 1959-2025

[RWC]

Kenny was one of the most intimidating and hardest hitting Safeties I’ve ever seen. He could play the whole field and also had 9 interceptions as a Freshman with a 10 game schedule.
When UCLA beat #2 Ohio State 17-0 in 1980 at Columbus, Easley was still pissed because of the comments made by Buckeye players that UCLA was soft the year before when they beat the Bruins in the final minute. Easley was ejected for fighting all comers on the OSU sideline and punching a photographer in the face.
He and Ronnie Lott have to be the two greatest Safeties of their time.
