I still can’t believe it. His spirit, his smile, and his energy was like none other. This offseason he made it his mission to be the best “Big B” he could be and he was definitely on his way. I just told him last week how proud I was of him. I love you lil bro ♥️ Rest easy 👑 https://t.co/XIKGevLwth

The epitome of a great teammate, brother and friend. One of the most genuine men I’ve ever gotten to know and had the privilege to be around. This year is for you, until we meet again. https://t.co/v42HDlGsfY

Susan and I were crushed when we learned about Brandon Adams this morning. He was without a doubt one of the finest people that I’ve had the opportunity to know. He was a talented young man and will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and teammates.
