Condolences to his family in Georgia. This is incredibly sad.

Nic Smith


The Kentucky Football family is mourning one of its own. Redshirt freshman Nic Smith has passed away, the school announced. The defensive lineman from Loganville, Georgia, was just 20 years old.

“We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved teammate Nic Smith,” the program shared on social media. “We extend our thoughts and prayers to Nic’s family, friends, and the members of our program.”

He was found in his dorm room. Police and the coroner are investigating

Given Ahmad Breaux's mom's comments on Twitter/X, it's reasonably assumed he died by suicide.

Research confirms a well-documented link between COVID-19 and long-term cardiovascular issues. Often referred to as post-acute COVID-19 syndrome (PACS) or Long COVID, the virus can trigger conditions like myocarditis, heart attacks, arrhythmias, and accelerated vascular aging even months after the initial infection.

Nickname is Big Happ. "Three words to describe him are happy, friendly and nice"

Reminds me of someone I went to high school with. He was the happiest person we knew. He ended his life. As the saying goes, "The saddest people often wear the brightest smiles." RIP young man.

I think it might be important to re-emphasize that these things are a response to the virus... as opposed to the vax.

In this case... apparently we have a suicide victim... So not related to any of that stuff. But I won't be surprised if we start hearing people insist that the Vax causes depression and thus is responsible for suicide.
