Chris Gedney, a Liverpool, N.Y., native and former Syracuse football player who tragically took his own life in March of 2018 at the age of 47, suffered from Stage 2 CTE at the time of his passing, per a report on Monday by NewsChannel 9 Sports Director Steve Infanti.
This is heart-breaking, to say the least. Gedney suited up for the Orange for five stanzas, which included a redshirt freshman campaign. He helped lead the program to a terrific 35-12-2 record and four bowl triumphs between 1989 and 1992, according to this cuse.
