Alabama A&M linebacker Medrick Burnett Jr. dies following injuries in Magic City Classic [View all]
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - An Alabama A&M linebacker died Tuesday following injuries sustained during a loss to Alabama State in the Magic City Classic in October.
Medrick Burnett Jr., a redshirt freshman from California, was injured during a head-on collision during the game, according to a GoFundMe that his sister Dominece James organized for him.
“He had several brain bleeds and swelling of the brain. He had to have a tube to drain to relieve the pressure, and after 2 days of severe pressure, we had to opt for a craniotomy, which was the last resort to help try to save his life,” according to an update posted on GoFundMe.
Burnett played in seven games this season. He transferred to Alabama A&M from Grambling State.
