Ole Miss sophomore offensive lineman Park Stevens passed away Wednesday. The tragic news has been confirmed by Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze. Stevens was involved in a motor vehicle accident in Mississippi Wednesday afternoon. According to police, Stevens’ truck collided with the back of a semi-truck that was attempting to cross the four-lane highway.
“Our team is hurting tonight with the loss of Park,” Freeze said in a statement. “He was a tremendous young man that was loved by his teammates and coaches, and Rebel Nation will never forget him. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Stevens’ family, his friends, our team and all those he touched during his life.”
Freeze, just 20 years old, was a walk-on lineman for the Rebels who had recently transferred to the team after playing two years of JUCO at East Central Community College.
LWOS passes our thoughts and prayers to Parks’ family, friends, teammates, coaches, and all who mourn his passing at this incredibly difficult time.
