A redshirt freshman on the Baylor football team has died following a shooting earlier this week.

 

Defensive lineman Alex Foster died early Wednesday after suffering multiple gunshot wounds in a car, while in his hometown of Greenville, Mississippi.

 

Police responded to reports of shots fired just after midnight on May 28th in the 1800 block of East Alexander Street, and discovered Foster upon arrival, where he later passed away at Delta Health Center.

 

Foster was a four-star recruit out of St. Joseph High School in Mississippi, and was one of the highest rated recruits in Baylor's 2024 class. Baylor Head Coach Dave Aranda released a statement on social media, stating "Alex was a beloved member of our Baylor family, and we are devastated by this loss. In his time at Baylor he made a long-lasting impact on all of us in the program."

 

Information regarding the identity of the shooter or details leading up to the shooting are unknown at this time.
