20-Year-Old College Football Star Found Dead On Campus​

It was announced Monday that Kentucky defensive lineman Nic Smith had passed away at the age of 20.

According to a university spokesman, Jay Blanton, the University of Kentucky Police Department received a call Monday morning indicating that a student had been found dead in a residence hall. Later that day, the university issued a statement announcing Smith’s death:

Blanton said the police department was working with the Lexington-Fayette County Coroner, and an initial investigation did not indicate that foul play was involved.

“Today our hearts are broken,” Kentucky coach Will Stein said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Nic’s family, friends, teammates and everyone who knew and loved him. This is a tremendous loss for our program and university community. We will continue to support one another and honor his memory.”

Smith, who redshirted last season, was a sophomore in the community leadership and development program in the Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment. His nicknames were “Happy” and “Big Happ,” according to his biography page on the Kentucky athletic department’s website.

He played football and basketball at Walnut Grove High School in Loganville, Georgia.
