Georgia offensive lineman Devin Willock and recruiting staffer Chandler LeCroy died in a car crash on Saturday night in Athens, the school announced Sunday morning.
“The entire Georgia family is devastated by the tragic loss of football student-athlete Devin Willock and football staff member Chandler LeCroy,” the statement said.
“Devin and Chandler were two special people who meant so much to the University of Georgia, our football program and our athletic department. We ask that everyone keep their families in your prayers during this very difficult time.”
According to the Athens-Clarke County Police police, the one-car crash happened at 2:45am ET on Jan. 15 when the 2021 Ford Expedition driven by LeCroy veered off the side of the road and slammed into two telephone poles and several trees.
