I knew Terry prior to UT and Clinton, at Norwood Jr. High. I always hated trying to tackle Terry when playing back-yard football. Terry always showed positive character in school and in sports. Our prayers are with Terry and his family.

I went to school with Terry in 1972. I didn't know him very much but I thought he was very nice. This is definitely a shock. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
