Taelin Webb’s death news was announced by the Southern Utah University football team on Twitter. They wrote, “Our hearts go out to the Webb family. T-Bird for life.”
Following the announcement, a number of people took to Twitter to pay respect to the athlete and humble human being. One tweeted, “My heart literally stopped beating when I learned about Taelin Webb’s awful death.”
“Coach Webb and his family have my heartfelt sympathies. He was a fantastic athlete and a kind young guy. Rest in peace.”
“Taelin Webb went on to play #CFB in the secondary at Southern Utah after participating in high-level #Grassroots events and signing to play #CBB at Cal-St. Northridge. A fantastic leaper capable of handling the rigors of college football,” says another.
SUU head coach Todd Simon Tweeted, “Taelin was a lovely, vivacious young guy. He was so gifted that he was a member of the SUU basketball and football teams. Coach Webb and his family have our sympathy.”
However, the cause of the death is yet to be disclosed by his family. He was far too young to die of old age; perhaps he was involved in a horrific accident or suffered from a life-threatening condition.
