Mississippi State’s Nick Bell loses fight with cancer

Just a little over a month ago, Nick Bell was a starting defensive end for the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Now, this has to be the utmost saddening story, via a press release, the school has confirmed that Bell passed away earlier this afternoon. He was just 20 years old.
"This is a tragedy for Nick’s family, our football program, our community and everyone who had the privilege to meet and be around Nick Bell," head coach Dan Mullen said in a statement. "Nick was a son and a brother to our football family and I know he will continue to look over us from heaven. Nick lived his life like a champion and will always be remembered in our hearts that way. During this impossible time, we pray for Nick’s family and all those he has touched." "There are few people in the world who have the unique ability to light up a room, Nick was one of those extraordinary individuals," Mullen’s wife Megan said. "Every single one of us in the Bulldog football family is a better person for having Nick in our lives."
