Louisiana Tech running back Tyrone Duplessis passed away on Thursday. Duplessis' roommate called 911 after Duplessis awoke with chest pains.

"Tyrone was a valuable part of this football family," Bulldogs coach Sonny Dykes said. "This is a tragic, senseless loss, but he made a lasting impact on this team, university and everyone that knew him." Our thoughts go out to Duplessis' family and friends.
