He was a good guy... funny as hell...

Used to play Xbox live with him back in the day.

Knew several of his teammates at State and he was as nice of a guy as there was

This has stunned me ... only 31.... damn.

31 is way too young for a fatal heart attack. Take care of yourselves folks.

Life after football for former o-linemen is a fickle thing. They were always the big kids and coached to keep on being big. Its not sustainable to remain that way but there's a lifetime of habits to break.

Damn. 31 is extremely young for a heart attack. That's incredibly sad.

It would definitely frick me up if as a player I basically watched one of my coaches die in front of my own eyes

We are ALL renting. Nobody owns anything. This is today’s reminder of that stark reality.

RIP to this accomplished young man.

Crap. DJ was a State Bulldog. Was hoping we could get him back home eventually. RIP Big Man.

My nephew is a Cajun OLman and he's pretty shaken up. Said they were running from one drill to the next and the poor guy faceplanted. Hate this for those guys. He was a good coach.
