Syracuse, N.Y. — Former Syracuse football linebacker Luke Cain has died, according to Jim Jerome, a former player and past president of the SU Football Club who has been in contact with Cain's family.
The 33-year-old Cain was found unconscious in his Washington D.C. apartment Sunday, Jerome said.
Cain, who played at Syracuse from 2002-06, had been homeless for a time after his playing career ended. News of Cain's homelessness prompted the Syracuse Football Club to raise money and provide clothes to help his cause.
He had been living in Syracuse but had since moved back home to Washington.
