It was sad news Monday when Akron’s athletics department learned that assistant head football coach Alan Arrington died earlier in the day from an automobile accident while visiting in his home state of Mississippi. He was fourty four years old.
The two-vehicle wreck happened on Highway 6 near Batesville. A native of Oxford, Arrington was in Mississippi for the Christmas break. His wife, Gail, is from Batesville. According to the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, Arrington’s vehicle was struck by another vehicle and he was ejected. Three passengers with Arrington were not injured.
We send our prayers to Gail and all of Alan’s family and friends. He will be missed by all.
