Former Wichita State football legend Prince McJunkins passed away in a Tulsa hospital on Tuesday after contracting COVID-19. McJunkins was 60 years old.
To many, the news of McJunkins came as a surprise to those who knew him best, including former teammate Jay Hull.
“We only knew for a half-day that it was going to happen,” Hull said. “Sunday and Monday he was talking to one of his good friends and former teammates Curtis Winton about playing golf. He suddenly got blood clots on his lungs and that changed everything. It was shocking, the guy was in great shape, really lean and fit and boy he loved his golf, that’s for sure.
