Cory Phillips, who played for the Bulldogs from 1998-02, and his wife, Courtney, a former UGA gymnast, lost their youngest son, Walker, in an overnight blaze. He was 10.

This makes me sick to my stomach.

Oh my God.

I had no idea this was them. I had a meeting cancelled this morning because someone involved had to be there for the family, but I hadn't seen any updates since.

Absolutely tragic situation and I am praying for them.

yah, prayers for Cory and his family. He's Royston which is near my dad's hometown of Hartwell. Phillips had some great games for us I think in 2000 or 2001.

DGD. Prolly the last walk-on to ever play QB at UGA outside Scoutie Stetson. Caught many a passes from Cory and DJ. Horrible situation and will pray for them all tonight. Can’t imagine being out of town when this happens either.

How do you ever forget something like that? Not sure how I could even function.
