Former Alabama running back Ahmaad Galloway — who rushed for 17 touchdowns in his Crimson Tide career — has died.
He was just 42 years old.
According to principal Susan Reid at Compton-Drew Middle School in St. Louis, where Galloway was teaching eighth grade English, Galloway was found dead on Monday.
“Ahmaad was always on time, very responsible, so we knew something might be wrong,” Susan Reid told Karle. “There wasn’t anything disrupted at Ahmaad’s apartment, so we are thinking that it could have been a medical issue.
“… The medical examiner is working to find out how Ahmaad died. The family is coming together from different parts of the country before deciding on funeral arrangements.”
A native of Millington, Tenn., Galloway joined the Crimson Tide football program in 1999 and saw his role significantly increase the following season after Shaun Alexander moved on to the NFL.
