Memorial Service Held For Georgia Tech Football Star

ATLANTA -- A memorial service was held Monday night at Georgia Tech for Brandon Adams, who died over the weekend from unknown causes. Adams, 21, was a business administration major and defensive tackle for the team. Off the field, he spent the summer of 2018 interning for the Georgia Tech Research Institute.

Family and university officials have not released a cause of death. On Monday, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said its initial autopsy was inconclusive, and more testing was needed.

Adams played in 33 games over three seasons as a Yellow Jacket from 2016-18. He recorded 41 career tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss and two forced fumbles as an interior defensive lineman. He was coming off a career year in 2018, when he amassed 24 tackles, five tackles for loss and two forced fumbles in 13 games (all career highs).
