NFL prospect Khyree Jackson, who was recently drafted by the Minnesota Vikings, tragically died in a car accident early Saturday morning.
Just hours before his death, the 24-year-old posted a reflective Instagram carousel featuring moments from his life, including photos from Vikings practice and personal snapshots. Jackson, along with his high school teammate and driver Hazel, was pronounced dead at the scene. A third passenger and teammate, Anthony Lytton Jr., was taken to the hospital but also later died. The accident occurred when a speeding Infiniti collided with their vehicle, causing it to veer off the road and crash into tree stumps. The Vikings and Jackson’s former teams expressed deep sorrow over his passing, highlighting his “contagious energy” and potential as a football player. Police are still investigating the incident, with no charges filed yet.
