Paul Breinz brings veteran, blue-collar safety depth to Kent State
In the 2020 season, Paul Breinz saw action in three games on defense and special teams and has been viewed as a compact, physical defensive back with a track background and a knack for toughness over flash[1][2]. The differentiator is his versatility: he came to Kent State after producing at Ohio Dominican and at Canfield, where he was a two-way standout with 900 rushing yards, 23 touchdowns, 83 tackles, and three interceptions as a senior[1]. He looks like the kind of steady, hard-nosed DB coaches trust for effort, special teams value, and competitive intensity[1][2].
