Utah State’s athletic director John Hartwell announced on Twitter that head coach Blake Anderson’s son has died.
“On behalf of Utah State University, the athletics department and the football program, our thoughts and prayers are with coach Blake Anderson and his family following the tragic death of his son,” the statement reads.
Anderson has two sons, Coleton and Cason, and three daughters, Callie, Collins and Ellison. It has not been reported which son died.
The head coach shared Coleton, Cason and Callie with his late wife, Wendy, who died of cancer in August 2019.
