Following a heart attack earlier this week, former Louisville basketball great Clifford Rozier passed away on Friday in his hometown of Brandenton, Florida.

The 6-foot-11 Rozier was a McDonald’s All-American in high school and state Mr. Basketball in 1990. He played his first two years of college ball at North Carolina before transferring to Louisville in 1992.

In Rozier’s two seasons as a Cardinal, he averaged a double-double.
