I posted this in a separate thread in the General Sports forum. I'll delete it. RIP to the Stephens family.

Terrible news. I had a science class with Jermain my first year at A&T.

OMG...

I am so sorry to hear of his passing. The worse thing to do is to bury a child. Praying for his family and loved ones, which includes our own Aggie Family and former teammates of his Dad.

Sad day for his family and friends. He seems to have been well liked by the school's admins and teammates. The national news show MSNBC reported the sad news during their mid-afternoon national news coverage. They reported that he died from COVID-19 complications.

His mother was interviewed on national news today. Unfortunate sad situation.
