EGYPT, Miss. (AP) - A member of the University of Mississippi football team was killed Wednesday in a traffic accident in Chickasaw County, Miss. The Highway Patrol says in a statement that 20-year-old Park Stevens of Columbus was killed when his pickup collided with the rear of an 18-wheeler at Egypt Road and U.S. Highway 45A around 3 p.m. Wednesday. Stevens was pronounced dead at the scene. The patrol says the accident is under investigation. Ole Miss officials say Stevens joined the Rebels in the spring as a walk-on, transferring to Ole Miss after two seasons at East Central Community College. Stevens went through spring drills as a backup offensive tackle Coach Hugh Freeze posted on the Ole Miss Facebook page that team's thoughts and prayers are with the Stevens' family and friends


How sad. Prayers for the family.

Sorry, didn't realize this was already on tRant.

I was on the lake today with a girl who dates a lineman. She said she was with a lot of the team last night and they are all completely devastated. Don't text and drive people

I was fortunate enough to meet him this spring. He was a lot of fun to talk to and be around. Thoughts and prayers for his friends and family.

He seemed like a great guy from comments I saw on his Facebook page. Yes, I looked him up on Facebook. Judge me

I didn't know him all that well, but I really enjoyed getting to know him what little I did.

I had several classes with him in the spring and I work for the athletics department so I've seen him every day this summer. We weren't like best friends but we knew each other.

Eta: random but trying to post something on the rant while using an iPad is awful. Freaking auto spell changes at least five words.
