Ferrum College was hit with some tough news on Saturday when football player Will Patterson was killed in a fatal car crash in Lee County, North Carolina. Patterson was a freshman at Ferrum and played quarterback for the team.

According to WSLS, Patterson wasn’t with the team on Saturday because he was not part of the travel team. He went home for the weekend to Sanford, North Carolina.

In response to the tragic death Ferrum sent out a tweet saying that counseling services have been made available.
