On Sunday, Georgia Tech announced that 21-year-old senior DL Brandon Adams had tragically passed away. No details were given about the death, but the Yellow Jacket family was understandably rocked by the tragedy.
As many mourned the passing of the talented young man, though, assistant head coach Brent Key was already moving on to recruiting.
In a since-deleted tweet, the former Alabama assistant seemed to make a connection between Adams’ death and Georgia Tech landing a 4-star recruit on the same day:
Key did issue a response to the tweet, saying he never meant to disrespect Adams and his family:

Hopefully, Key will stay off of Twitter for a while after that one.
Georgia Tech will hold a vigil for Adams on Monday evening:
Autopsy results for Georgia Tech football player Brandon Adams were inconclusive. The athletic dept. will hold a vigil this evening and @wsbtv will be on campus with more new info. at 4. https://t.co/2xSvIQSB8V
