Former Clemson running back C.J. Fuller has died at the age of 22, the school confirmed Wednesday night.
“Our thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies are with C.J.’s family,” Tigers coach Dabo Swinney said.
“I’ve known C.J. a long time and watched him grow up through the Easley rec leagues [in South Carolina] all the way through Easley High School. I’m proud of what he accomplished as a Clemson Tiger, most of all his accomplishment of being a Clemson graduate.
Our deepest condolences and the thoughts of our program are with his family this evening. May he rest in peace.”
Our program is heartbroken this evening to learn of the passing of C.J. Fuller.https://t.co/jWVj4DzFBm

Clemson did not give a cause of death.
The Pickens County coroner in South Carolina told The State newspaper that results of an autopsy will take six to eight weeks.
