Tragedy struck as three former high school state champion football players from Prince George's County were killed in a car accident involving a speeding and potentially impaired driver in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. The victims, including Minnesota Vikings rookie Khyree Jackson, were teammates at Wise High School and had successful college football careers before the fatal crash. Coach DaLawn Parrish, who coached the trio to multiple state titles, remembered them as outstanding young men who left a lasting impact on his life. Jackson's journey from working at a grocery store to being drafted into the NFL was inspired by his close friends and former teammates, Anthony Lytton Jr. and Isaiah Hazel. Their legacy of excellence on and off the field continues to resonate in the football community as they are remembered for their talent, hard work, and camaraderie.
