Former Louisville Linebacker P.J. Blue Dies at 27

The University of Louisville confirmed Blue's passing, with tributes pouring in for the once-promising athlete whose career was cut short by injuries.

P.J. Blue, a former linebacker for the Louisville Cardinals, has died at the age of 27, as confirmed by the University of Louisville on Monday.
The cause of Blue's death has not been disclosed at this time, according to the university's announcement.
Blue, a highly touted recruit from Alabama, was an Under Armour All-American who received offers from programs like Alabama and Clemson before committing to Louisville in 2016.
Recurring knee injuries, including a torn ACL before his debut, significantly limited his playing career, with his last appearance on the field in 2018.
The news of his death has prompted an outpouring of tributes from college football fans and the sports community on social media.
