Heartbreaking. The guy was an absolute stud for CU back in the glory days. Very sad day here.

Saw him play in HS. He played 8 man football and came up to La Canada to play local school, Flintridge Prep. Fucking beast. Think he had 8 or 9 carries for 225-250 yards and 3-4 TD's.












RIP.

He had a solid rookie season but then he started getting hurt and never recovered.
