Over the last few days, college football has lost some players and a staff member with [autotag]Notre Dame[/autotag] head coach [autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag] being well aware of the losses.
[autotag]Air Force[/autotag] offensive lineman [autotag]Hunter Brown[/autotag] passed away after suffering a medical emergency going to a class. [autotag]Georgia[/autotag] offensive lineman [autotag]Devin Willock[/autotag] and support staff member [autotag]Chandler LeCroy[/autotag] were involved in a single-vehicle car crash that saw both of them pass away. Offensive tackle [autotag]Warren McClendon[/autotag] was also in the car but suffered just a cut on his head that required stitches.
It’s been a difficult couple of days across the nation and Freeman made a statement about both programs, sending his love and condolences.
It’s been a very difficult couple of days for our college football community. We are saddened by the devastating losses at both Air Force and Georgia. We send our love and condolences to both programs and the families and friends of all who have been impacted.

Being part of a collegiate football program is like being in a fraternity, even if you are on a different campus, there is still a connection. It’s great to see Freeman take a leadership role and make a statement. He is showing the country why he was the correct choice to lead the Irish program, on and off the field.
