The son of Utah State football coach Blake Anderson has died, the university announced Tuesday.
“On behalf of Utah State University, the athletic department and the football program, our thoughts and prayers are with coach Blake Anderson and his family following the tragic death of his son,” athletic director John Hartwell said in a statement.
Details surrounding Anderson’s son’s death are unknown.
Anderson had three children, two sons and a daughter, with his late wife, Wendy — who died in 2019 after she was diagnosed with cancer. Anderson married his second wife, Britany, last year and adopted her two daughters.
Anderson, 52, last sent out a tweet Monday afternoon.
