Baylor defensive lineman Alex Foster, 18, died early Wednesday after he was found with multiple gunshot wounds in a car in his hometown of Greenville, Mississippi, the Washington County Coroner's Office said. Foster redshirted the 2024 season at Baylor and went through practice this spring. "We are heartbroken by the unexpected loss of Alex Foster, a beloved member of our football family," Baylor coach Dave Aranda and athletic director Mack Rhoades said in a joint statement. Foster, who was listed at 6-foot-5 and 292 pounds, played high school football for St. Joseph Catholic School in Madison, Mississippi. The shooting was part of a "surge in violent crimes" that Greenville Mayor Errick D. Simmons said in an address threaten the community.
