Kimbrough, an alumnus of Texas A&M University, was known as the "Haskell Hurricane" when he played Texas A&M Aggies football team. He played fullback on the Aggies undefeated 1939 national championship team. In 1940 he finished second to the University of Michigans Tom Harmon in Heisman Trophy balloting. According to his College Football Hall of Fame biography, Jarrin John was a punishing 6 ft 2 in tall 210 lb running back known for breaking tackles with his high knee action who was honored with induction into that organization in 1954.

In 1941, he started along Tom Harmon in the New York Americans backfield in the third American Football League and became the teams primary running threat after Harmon left the team for military service.

Acting

After the AFL folded in response to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Kimbrough parlayed his gridiron fame and athletic good looks into a Hollywood contract, though he only appeared in two western motion pictures, Sundown Jim and The Lone Star Ranger, both released in 1942.
