Former Texas Longhorns, UNM TE Jaden Hullaby Dead At 21

Landon Hullaby, brother to the University of New Mexico player and former Texas Longhorn, confirmed the news on his social media on Monday. Hullaby's official cause of death has been reported.

Hullaby's family, according to TMZ Sports, had been searching for the young player since Friday — last spotted in Dallas.
