The Arkansas football team, to whom Stutts was set to lend his considerable talents as part of the Class of 2024, released a statement, expressing their profound heartbreak over the untimely passing of such a “tremendous young man with a bright future.”
Stutts’ parents, Shante and Dino, together with his family, are in the prayers and thoughts of the team during this challenging time.
Notably, Dion Stutts’ athletic prowess was not limited to football; he also shone brightly on his high school wrestling team.
His extraordinary ability had earned him multiple scholarship offers, including propositions from Texas A&M, South Carolina, and Mississippi State, before he chose to commit to the Razorbacks.
Ryan Silverfield, the head football coach of the University of Memphis, expressed his condolences, aligning his thoughts and prayers with the family of Dion Stutts and the entire MUS community.
Likewise, MUS athletics issued a statement extending their sympathies to the friends and family of the “rising senior,” Dion Stutts.
