Kyle Tobin York[1] (born July 5, 1982) is a former American football quarterback who played for the Mississippi State Bulldogs in 2002, 2003, and 2004, starting four games.
After redshirting the 2001 season,[1] York expected to backup Kevin Fant in 2002. However, after Fant was suspended for the first game,[2] York started for the Bulldogs in a 36-13 loss to Oregon.[3] York got another start later in the season when Fant was injured and led the Bulldogs to a 29-17 win over Memphis.[4]
York backed up Fant during the 2003 season, appearing in seven games as a backup.[1] In 2004, under new head coach Sylvester Croom, York was again named the backup quarterback, this time to Omarr Conner. However, Conner was injured in a 51-0 loss to 2004 LSU Tigers football team,[5] and York started the next two games, a 31-13 loss to Vanderbilt, and a 27-13 loss to UAB.[6] York did not appear in any more games in 2004. He graduated from Mississippi State in December 2004 and did not return for the 2005 season,[7] instead enrolling in seminary.
York is currently a pastor at Pinelake Church in Mississippi.[8] He occasionally serves as a football expert on TV and radio sports shows.
