Death of Utah State's Andre Seldon Jr. rocks the college football world
In what can only be described as a horrific tragedy, Utah State defensive back Andre Seldon Jr. passed away on Saturday after a fluke drowning accident. According to a press release by Utah State, the defensive back transfer was seen jumping off cliffs at the Porcupine Reservoir and he didn't resurface. To me, this sounds like he hit the water hard and awkward enough to knock him out and he was never able to swim to safety. After doing some quick research, it appears that cliff jumping here is a popular activity, but they do appear steep and there are areas of excess rock at the bottom which could be enough to knock someone out. I won't speculate, but this seems like a freak accident.
