CHAMPAIGN (HOI) – Bobby Roundtree, a former Illin football team defender, died Friday at the age of 23
Roundtree was paralyzed in a tragic swimming accident in his home state of Florida on May 18, 2019. Since then, he had practiced in the Tampa Bay area and shared his progress on social media. Roundtree had become an inspiring leader for the Illin football team and the entire university, showing what it means to be the embodiment of strength and inspiration.
Ever since the news of his death became public, social media support for Roundtree has been drained, including former teammate and Peorian Kendrick Green.
Illinois athletics director Josh Whitman also sent a message of support.
Roundtree’s legacy at the University of Illinois is strength, inspiration and leadership. He was 23 years old.
