Former Texas A&M basketball star David Edwards has died from the effects of coronavirus in New York.

Edwards’ former Aggies teammate Charles Henderson shared the tragic news on Facebook.

“Never in a million years would I have even imagined my backcourt teammate would go before his time. I just got the news that Dave Edwards passed away. For those that have been praying for him, he is now in a better place.” Henderson wrote on Facebook.

“This coronavirus has hit me in the heart. Dave was one of the fiercest competitors and best point guards that I’ve ever met. Nearly unstoppable. Learned a how to become tough as nails competing against him everyday and shaking off adversity. Will also remember the 4 years we were together after you transferred from Georgetown to Texas A&M. RIP Dave Boogie!!!!”

Edwards transferred to Texas A&M from Georgetown for the 1991-94 seasons, and he averaged 13.5 points and 7.1 assists in 85 career games. Edwards led the Southwest Conference in the 1993-94 season with 265 assists.
