wartownfalcon Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Incoming GT recruit struck by a train Incoming Georgia Tech freshman receiver Bryce Gowdy has died, the school confirmed Monday. According to the Broward Sheriff's Office, a freight train hit Gowdy early Monday morning in his hometown of Deerfield Beach, Florida. Gowdy, 17, was taken to Broward Health North Hospital, where he died. BSO homicide detectives are investigating. The cause and manner of death will be determined by Broward County's medical examiner's office. Gowdy signed with the Yellow Jackets earlier this month and was set to enroll in school next week. He was a four-star recruit out of Deerfield Beach and was one of the top-rated players coming in to Georgia Tech as part of the No. 25-ranked class in the country. His final tweet Sunday expressed his excitement over joining Georgia Tech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSO said it responded at about 4 a.m. to a call about a freight train striking a pedestrian. So by that he himself was hit by the train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamaBirdLady Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 When I read this last night and saw his last Twitter post I was incredibly saddened. As a parent I really can't wrap my mind around about what his parents are going thru. Prayers and hope for grace for all his family, friends, and GT. blkbigdog35 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
