Oh, wow! I'm sorry to hear that. He's my age. Played on some great Purdue teams in the mid-to-late 90s along with Brad Miller, Alan Eldridge, Chad Austin, Brian Cardinal, and Mike Robinson.

wow...way too young. One of the smoothest strokes prior to his ankle injury. I read quickly but never recalled reading about any family???

Prayers for his family.
A Boiler legend.

Yep. Many fans spoke of that injury like many speak of the Hummel injury now in terms of what could have been for that team.

Way too young. Thoughts and prayers to all his friends and family.
