Incredible the tragedy that one small Texas college football program has had to endure:

One football program. Five years. Six deaths. Two life-altering injuries. Each of them random, each bringing a new jolt of sorrow.

“A lot of these kids walk around and say, ‘Who’s next?’ ” said Rodney Payne, a former Tarleton football player who leads a campus ministry at a Baptist church. “You can just feel that fear in them. I’ve never seen one program go through this.”

“It’s crazy there’s been so much of it,” said Cheri Evans, daughter of the football team secretary players called “Momma.” “This group of guys have cried together, they’ve hurt together. It’s a different bond than most programs would have.”
