Former Marshall football linebacker Jaquan Yulee dies at the age of 24 in car accident
We all remember Jaquan Yulee the hard hitting linebacker prospect from Marshall University because of his injury suffered back in 2019. In the season opener, Yulee suffered a a serious spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed for several days. The wild thing was Yulee was preparing a comeback to play college football.
Yulee was a four star recruit who turned down offers from Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Michigan and Notre Dame. The 24-year-old was looking to return to play at one of three HBCU schools to include Virginia State University, Central State University or Virginia Union.
Unfortunately, Yulee was killed in a car accident in Suffolk County. The former Marshall linebacker was involved in a single-car crash on Leafwood Road. The vehicle flipped on it’s roof and the Yulee was pronounced dead on the scene.
