Quentin Coryatt
Quentin John Coryatt (born August 1, 1970) is a former American football linebacker in the National Football League (NFL) for the Indianapolis Colts and Dallas Cowboys. He played college football at Texas A&M University. He is distinguished as being the first Crucian to play in the NFL.
Coryatt was born in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, where he was raised until the age of 15. He attended Robert E. Lee High School in Baytown, Texas. As a senior, he received All-district, All-area and All-Greater Houston honors. He also practiced baseball and track.
He accepted a football scholarship from Texas A&M University. He didn't play in his first two years after failing to meet the requirements of Proposition 48.
As a junior, he became a starter at inside linebacker. He posted 92 tackles (five for loss), three sacks, 18 quarterback pressures and two fumble recoveries. He received SWC Newcomer of the Year honors, contributing to the defense ranking first in the nation. He was the centerpiece of an outstanding Aggie defensive unit (nicknamed "Wrecking Crew"), along with players like Mark Wheeler, Marcus Buckley, Kevin Smith, Derrick Frazier, and Patrick Bates.
As a senior, he registered 92 tackles (second on the team), 4.5 sacks, 11 tackles for loss, three passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. He gained fame in a nationally televised game by knocking out Texas Christian University wide receiver Kyle McPherson with a ferocious hit on a pass over the middle, breaking McPherson's jaw in three places. ESPN named it the "Hit of the Year". He was selected second-team All-American, All-SWC, and a SWC Defensive Player of the Year. In the 1992 Cotton Bowl Classic, the Aggies lost 10–2 against Florida State University, with Coryatt producing the only points after making a sack for a safety, while also having 15 tackles (10 solo), three tackles for loss and one safety.
In 2009, he was inducted into the Texas A&M Athletic Hall of Fame. In 2018, he was inducted into the Cotton Bowl Hall of Fame.
Entering the 1992 NFL draft, the Indianapolis Colts owned the first two overall draft picks. After selecting defensive tackle Steve Emtman, the team chose Coryatt who was projected as the No. 1 linebacker. It was the highest draft position for a Texas A&M player since John David Crow in 1958.
As a rookie, he became the starter at left inside linebacker in the team's 3–4 defense for the first seven games. On October 27, he was placed on the injured reserve list with a broken left wrist he suffered in the seventh game against the Miami Dolphins. He recorded 54 tackles (at the time of the injury second on the team), two sacks and two forced fumbles.
