News summary

Medrick Burnett Jr., a 20-year-old linebacker for Alabama A&M University, tragically passed away on November 27, 2024, following severe head injuries sustained during a football game against Alabama State University on October 26. Burnett suffered multiple brain bleeds and swelling after a head-on collision, leading to a craniotomy and weeks of intensive medical care at UAB Hospital. His death was confirmed by the Jefferson County Coroner after an earlier erroneous announcement by the university, which had to retract a premature statement indicating he had died while he was still alive. The university expressed deep sorrow, honoring Burnett's positive impact on his teammates and community. A GoFundMe campaign launched by his family to support his medical expenses raised nearly $50,000. Burnett's passing has left a profound impact on the Alabama A&M community, which continues to mourn the loss of this promising young athlete.
