So tragic. Just a month away from the moment he's probably always been waiting for. RIP

OL prospect for this draft. Projected to go anywhere between rounds 2-4.

But from what Ive seen everywhere is that the cause of death was natural. Makes it even more sad and suprising to think he had just normal health and didnt even do anything wrong.

He was an OL prospect from Newberry College. Originally enrolled at Tennessee but left after his freshman year.

Giant dude and very much looked like a professional weighlifter--he was thickly built, not flabby. Supposedly he once squatted 1200. As far as his NFL prospects, he was a middle rounder who was likely to spend at least one year on the practice squad, pretty raw and really needed to work on his mobility and technique.

Wow. That's sad.

I really hope that there was no foul play, and that he's went peacefully.
