Sweet Pea was such a personable figure for UK. Was legit good and total joy to watch. Rest well big fella! Prayers to the family of Vincent Burns.

He kicked arse at Louisville one year.

Had a 10 sack season, his junior year.

A great young man. taken far too soon.

So long Sweet Pea. Gone way too young.

Has a cause of death been mentioned?

 

[The-Hack]

Has a cause of death been mentioned?

No, and I doubt we will hear, such as there is growing sensitivity around HIPPA regs and privacy concerns.

Sweet Pea, Jeremy Caudill and Dewayne Robertson were difference makers on 2002 Wildcat defense. They greatly helped Guy Morriss achieve a 7-5 record and land the Baylor job.

RIP, Sweet Pea.

KSR this morning said Dewayne Robertson is also having some pretty serious medical issues right now. Prayers for that big fella.

RIP. Sweet Pea was far too young to pass.

Caudill and Robertson were a freaking force. Loved that combo!!!

That whole D-line group with Sweet Pea, those two and Ellery Moore was probably one of the best in UK history until some of Brooks and Stoops groups came along.

That 2002 DL took UL to the woodshed. Burns' first game ad a Cat and he was awesome. Knocked Ragone around like a ragdoll.
