A Pima College football player died and a University of Arizona walk-on wide receiver was seriously injured in a car accident Thursday night.
Jordan Waddell, a sophomore fullback from Fort Walton Beach, Florida, was killed after running a red light, hitting another vehicle and smashing into a pole near Pima’s West Campus.
Former PCC receiver/quarterback Donovan Moore was a passenger in the vehicle. Moore was hospitalized with injuries that are believed to be serious in nature.
The Aztecs will wear Waddell’s initials on their uniforms for the rest of the season.
“Jordan was very well-liked by his teammates and coaches and was noted for his positive attitude,” PCC spokesperson Libby Howell said.
