<span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33);">It is with a heavy heart that I share with you that Baylor Football student-athlete, Alex Foster, a freshman from Greenville, Mississippi, tragically passed away in the early morning hours in his home state. We are devastated
by the unexpected loss of Alex, a cherished member of our football family. Our deepest condolences are with Alex’s family and all who loved him, as we lift them up in prayer now and in the days to come. In this time of deep sorrow, we draw strength from our
faith, and the love of the Baylor community. </span></p>
