Devonta Lee, former receiver at LSU and Louisiana Tech, dead at 26
Devonta Lee, a former wide receiver for LSU and Louisiana Tech, died after a battle with cancer.
He was 26, according to NOLA.com.
Lee played three seasons with the Tigers — winning a national championship in 2019 — and transferred to Louisiana Tech in 2022.
Lacresia Brown, Lee’s mother, told KTVE that he was a “fighter” and “loved by everybody.”
“[Lee] was a good kid [and would] do anything for anybody,” she told the outlet. “He loved football [and] he gave his all in anything he did. He worked out every day [and was] a very hard, dedicated player [who] never gave up in football. [I will miss] my son.”
Sad to hear about Devonta Lee – sounds like he was a true fighter on and off the field. RIP to a young talent gone too soon
Sad.
