South Florida tight end Teigan Martin was killed in a car crash in Minnesota on Monday. He was 20.
Per the Carver County Sheriff’s Office, Martin was found after a 2013 Black BMW M5 had crashed into a ditch on a county road. An initial investigation found that Martin was driving at a high rate of speed when his car crossed the opposite lane, went into a ditch and rolled over. Martin was wearing his seatbelt and the full investigation into the crash continues.
“We are heartbroken by the tragic passing of Teigan Martin,” USF coach Alex Golesh said in a statement. “His loss is felt profoundly by his teammates, our coaches and staff, and all those who knew and loved him. We extend our deepest sympathies to Teigan’s family and friends, and keep them in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.”
