Former TCU standout defensive back Jeff Gladney died in a car wreck early Memorial Day morning, as reported by the Fort Worth Star Telegram and Frogs Today.
Gladney had a highly decorated career as a defensive leader throughout his time at TCU. He ammased 43 pass break-ups and 5 interceptions, but the stats cannot capture his impact as he was a true shut down corner and teams would not throw to his side of the field.
Gladney earned All-Big 12 Honorable Mention as a Sophomore, All-Big 12 Second Team as a Junior and with a dominant Senior campaign earned All-Big 12 First Team and All-American Second Team honors.
