Alabama A&M football player Medrick Burnett Jr. is reported to have died after suffering a head injury during a game four weeks ago, but his family insists he is still hospitalized. The 20-year-old redshirt freshman linebacker was injured in a game against Alabama State on October 26. The announcement of his death was deleted from the school’s website, and the university has not provided further comment. Burnett’s family has not been reached for comment by news outlets. Burnett, who transferred from Grambling, played in seven games this season, with his best performance coming on September 21. Alabama A&M Director of Athletics Paul Bryant expressed sadness over Burnett’s supposed death, noting his positive impact on those around him. Burnett had graduated from Mayfair High School in California. Alabama A&M still has one game left in the season, against Florida A&M, and the team is 6-5 overall. Mayfair HS offered condolences to his family and teammates. The situation is ongoing, and updates are expected.
