LSU coach Ed Orgeron sent out the following message on Twitter to pay respects to longtime New Orleans high school football coach Wayne Reese Sr. who died Thursday from the novel coronavirus.


Per WWLTV:

He is one of Louisiana’s greatest high school football coaches. Most recently, at McDonogh 35, but you may remember back in 1992 when he was coaching a running back by the name of Marshall Faulk at George Washington Carver High School.

"He was a husband of 47 years, a superhero dad of four, proud paw paw, devoted brother, caring brother-in-law, and an unwavering uncle," his family said in a statement. "
