Michigan Monday: Remembers Andre Sheldon Jr.

The extended Michigan family is morning the loss of Andre Sheldon Jr. this weekend when he died by drowning after jumping off a cliff in Utah.  

If you remember, Andre spent two years on the Michigan roster after committing to the Wolverines from Belleville.  He then transferred and played two years at New Mexico State and was heading to Utah State this season to play his final year of eligibility.  

Here are the details of this tragic event from CNN: Deputies were called to the Porcupine Reservoir at around 2:20 p.m. MT following reports that a man dove from the cliffs into the water and didn’t resurface, the Cache County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

Search and rescue teams with divers then began searching for the man, the agency’s release said, and his body was found in the reservoir at 9:05 p.m. by the Utah Department of Public Safety dive team.

“Our initial investigation leads us to believe this is a tragic accident as multiple witnesses recount the same information,” the sheriff’s office said.

Please keep Andre and his family in your thoughts and prayers this week.
