Army cornerback Brandon Jackson died Sunday due to injuries suffered in a one-car accident in New York, the academy announced Monday.
"Words cannot describe the grief that our team is feeling over the loss of our brother and friend, Brandon," Army head coach Jeff Monken said, per Sal Interdonato of the Times Herald-Record. “He was a beloved teammate and our hearts are with his family at this time of tragedy.”
Jackson was a sophomore who appeared in every game for Army in 2015. He started nine games last season and was viewed as perhaps the team's top cornerback for the 2016 campaign.
