Reports coming out all over X that Rucker passed away this afternoon in a car accident. Absolutely terrible if true

All over X but I don’t see anything official. Bit that’s too much smoke at this point. Believe he has a wife and child.

I hate to hear that. He used to post occasionally on one of the UGA message boards and seemed like a good guy.

That's really sad
He's one of those names you always see if you've been on the SEC twittersphere over the past decade

How awful. I know he’s posted about his wife and young kid too. Awful stuff.

Has an adorable little boy. Just awful for that family. God help them.

Has it been confirmed or anything? He had a tweet 5 hours ago but also heard there was a bad wreck on I-40. That’s really sad if true and my heart goes out.

Nothing confirmed, but you gotta figure if it weren’t true there would be something by now.

Yeah, you have a point. Just hoping for misinformation or something.

Local sports radio Broadcaster posting this. Seems like it may be the case. RIP. So sad and my heart and prayers go out to his family. I know we are rivals on here and shoot the shite talking trash, but no one likes this news and hope everyone here stays safe.

Damn it, he's one of the few people my vol friends here in knoxville trusted for information, just absolute awful to hear.

Seemed like a good guy who lives his Vols. RIP.
