I saw this on Twitter, I'm guessing this is the accident on 287. Prayers for his friends and family. Tough to have this happen the day after Father's day.

""The first time we ever went he got the first takedown on me,'' Ashnault said. "People who know me know that I'm pretty competitive, so he got that first takedown and it was game over for him."

I went to the wake last night with my son who is friends with Sam's brother. Waited on line for 2 1/2 hours. Tremendous turnout. The wake was at a church and was for both Sam and his friend Leo. The family is having a tough time as expected. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Just wanted to send my condolences to the RU wrestling community on the loss of this young man. Always a shame to see someone lose their life, especially at such a young age.
