Late Sunday afternoon, it was tweeted out by USC head coach Clay Helton, and later confirmed by a university spokesperson, that former Trojans and Chargers offensive lineman Chris Brown has passed away. He was just 24 years old.
Heartbroken to hear the news that we lost Chris Brown today. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Brown family. Chris meant so much to so many. Great person, player, teammate, and Trojan. God bless my friend. You are forever in our hearts.

This devastating news comes only a year after another former Trojan and Chargers offensive lineman, Max Tuerk, passed away due to an enlarged heart.
