Georgia football player killed in car wreck Sunday morning

Yeah, don't want to assume anything but young people and being on the road at 3AM on a weekend does raise some eyebrows.
The 2nd player who had minor injuries was Warren McClendon. This isn't real important right now but was a 3 year starter at RT and just announced he was heading to the draft. The other staffer was an administrative assistant.
Very sad. My daddy always told me nothing good happens after 12:00 midnight. I had to learn the hard way that he was probably right.
Prayers for UGA and their families such a tragedy
Prayers for all. This is terrible.
I moved it back to 10:00 when I told it to my 18-year old freshman at UK.
Just devastated for his and Chandler Lecroy’s family and friends. Dawg Nation appreciates the prayers and outpouring of support.
How freaking awful.
Thoughts also go out to Warren McClendon and the others who were in the vehicle.

Just terrible news, my thoughts are with both Wilcox and LeCroy's families, friends, coaches, and teammates. Also, to the other people also in the vehicle. Just really horrible news.
I used to live in the area they wrecked. About 1/2 mile down Barnett Shoals my first two years in Athens. It’s a 5 lane wide road (two lane each way and a turn lane). It’s a notoriously bad road for speeding. Lots apartment complexes and duplex areas. It’s 45 if I remember correctly but it’s not hard to find people going 60-70 thru just based on the openness of the road. They were probably up early prepping for the parade and recruiting events. These visiting kids like to stay out late with the players and staffers. Photos of the vehicle are tragic. It’s a miracle that two people survived and those two will likely deal with guilt forever (survivors guilt). Let’s just keep these people in our thoughts and if prayer or good vibes are your thing, those too. It would be uncouth to assume anyone was intoxicated at this point.
