Horrible news. Prayers for his family.

Tragic indeed.

Hate to hear that..

That’s terrible. So sad.

police not ruling out an OD, his friend told police that Jaylon told him he was "zannied up" (high on multiple xanax) that night and there was a drug called pinky found in the house.

Hope it's not the "pink cocaine" that's hitting South America pretty hard. I watched a Vice documentary about it a few weeks ago. It's coming out of Medellin, Colombia and they anticipated it would start making its way into the US in a big way this year. It's basically just a mixture of all kinds of synthetics. Pretty terrible stuff.

It's this stuff:
U-47700, nicknamed “U4,” “pink,” or “pinky,” is a highly potent synthetic opioid that looks like a white or light pink powder. A lot of times, it is often either sold in baggies or pressed into pills to look like legal painkillers. Abuse of this drug is similar to heroin, and prescription and designer opioids.

A young life...terrible.

Drugs cause so much tragedy.

The Goose was one of the great characters of football, and also a fantastic DT. It had to be fun playing alongside him and working with him.

Likely got fentanyl pressed fake alpirazolam. A few people I know from high school died that way and it's horrible because Xanax, when taken in relatively small doses, is quite safe. The Chinese cut them with fentanyl for some reason and people end up dying.

Just awful news. Thoughts for the LaTech faithful.

Prayers for Bulldog Nation.
