In a tragic turn of events, the University of Tennessee community is mourning the loss of a beloved football legend who died in a plane crash today. The former Vols star, known for his remarkable athleticism and indelible contributions to the program, was 45 years old.
The incident occurred earlier this afternoon as the aircraft, en route to a charity event, encountered severe weather conditions.
