• "He was just a good all-around kid. He played with a contagious fire that carried over to his teammates. He was a good person. It is a great loss to our team and our university." - Alabama State coach Lewis Jackson
• "Absolutely no one saw this coming - there were no signs. This was a kid who was in the best shape of his life. He was in tremendous shape. The team had just come off a SWAC championship just a month ago. There was no reason for this. It's just baffling." - ASU President Joe Lee
