PLUM, Pa. (AP) — Lorenzo Freeman, an assistant high school football coach who once played for the University of Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh Steelers, has died. He was 52.
The Westmoreland County coroner says Freeman was found dead at home in New Kensington on Monday after he failed to report for work. He was an assistant coach at Plum High School, working with defensive linemen.
Freeman was born in Camden, New Jersey before attending Pitt. He was a fourth-round draft pick by the Green Bay Packers in 1987, but wound up signing with the Steelers and playing for the team from 1987 to 1990.
