Played in '05-'09. Also a BU law graduate, and a very good dude. Was an ordained minister, and practicing lawyer, from Trinidad. Small town boy made it big RIP, Desmond.

Sad to hear, very smart guy. I was at Baylor when his older brother was playing. I think the younger brother may have gone to Baylor as well. All 3 were smart, each graduated Valedictorian. Sad to hear when a young guy is gone (more so for us minorities that are trying to change people prospective of our race).

Yes, true - very smart. Toxicology came back, unsurprisingly it was clean. I am suspicious of stroke or aortic dissection. No indication of foul play, and no signs of a struggle-if that had been the case, I feel Dez would have handled that easily

Still waiting on autopsy results, but there are some likely causes, cardiac arrest, stroke, aneurysm, aortic dissection. No signs of struggle, or foul play - believe it will be natural causes...he was a truly incredible person

I hate this. Truly saddened. Condolences and prayers to family. Terrific individual who loved the Lord and obviously left a positive impact on his community.
