Brendan O’Brien, a senior at Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin, committed to Lake Erie College as a long snapper despite missing seven games due to injury during his senior season. O’Brien comes from a family of long snappers, with his older brother Triston playing for Cincinnati Bearcats and his younger brother Collin aspiring to play the same position.
Lake Erie College was chosen over Hocking College due to the former’s strong HVAC program. O’Brien plans to major in business and focus on HVAC at Lake Erie.
The atmosphere at Lake Erie College is what drew O’Brien to the school, citing its family-like atmosphere and his enthusiasm for Coach D.J. Boldin’s plans for the future.
“When Triston isn’t home, I either snap into a net or to my brother Collin, who is also a long-snapper,” O’Brien said.
O’Brien’s commitment to Lake Erie College marks the continuation of a family tradition, cementing his family’s reputation in the world of football.
Brendan O’Brien, the voice actor behind the iconic character Crash Bandicoot, has died at the age of 60. O’Brien voiced both Crash and the villain Dr. Neo Cortex in the original Crash Bandicoot game, which was released in 1996 for the PlayStation. He continued to voice the characters in other games in the following years.
O’Brien’s family and fans of the game were saddened by his passing, with many taking to social media to share memories and tributes of the actor. The official Twitter account for Crash Bandicoot paid tribute to O’Brien, stating that “he will forever live on in the hearts of Crash fans.”
Before his work on Crash Bandicoot, O’Brien was a prolific actor in the world of voice work. He lent his voice to several characters in the first three games of the popular series, including N. Gin, Dr. Nitrus Brio, and Tiny Tiger. O’Brien also appeared in several TV shows and films during his career.
In his obituary published on Legacy.com, O’Brien’s family remembered him as a passionate guitar player and someone who was involved in “every high school event in the southland.” “Music, humor, and endless knowledge were the themes of his life,” it said. He is survived by his wife of 23 years, Ingrid K. Behrens.
While the world of voice acting mourns the passing of a beloved talent, Brendan O’Brien’s family can take solace in the fact that his legacy will live on both on and off the football field.
