The Minnesota Twins honored Khyree Jackson, a rookie cornerback for the state’s Vikings football team, after his death on Saturday, July 6
Ahead of the Twins’ Saturday, July 6, game, the organization held a moment of silence. Per social media footage, a photo of Jackson was projected on the Jumbotron.
Jackson, who was drafted by Minnesota’s NFL team in April, died earlier on Saturday in a fatal car accident in Maryland. He was 24. Maryland State Police confirmed to Us Weekly later on Saturday that Jackson, as well as high school teammates Isaiah Hazel and Anthony Lytton Jr., had died after their vehicle collided with two other cars in Upper Marlboro. Hazel and Jackson were pronounced dead on the scene.“I am absolutely crushed by this news. Khyree brought a contagious energy to our facility and our team,” coach Kevin O’Connell wrote in a statement.
O’Connell further expressed that he was “at a loss for words” and offered his condolences to Jackson’s “family, friends, teammates and coaches.”
