Minnesota Vikings rookie cornerback Khyree Jackson dies in car crash

UPPER MARLBORO, M.D. (KFYR) – Vikings rookie cornerback Khyree Jackson has died in an overnight car accident. The rookie was 24 years old. The Minnesota Vikings confirmed it on their X social page this afternoon.

According to Maryland police, Jackson was one of three killed in the crash. Former college football players Anthony Lytton Jr. and Isaiah Hazel, who were in the car with Jackson also died. Jackson was not driving.

Jackson was a fourth-round pick in this year’s draft. He spent his final year of college at Oregon, earning First-Team All-Pac-12 honors in his lone season with the Ducks. He spent the previous two seasons at Alabama.

Head coach Kevin O’Connell posted about the rookie’s passing.

“I am absolutely crushed by this news. Khyree brought a contagious energy to our facility and our team. His confidence and engaging personality immediately drew his teammates to him. In our short time together, it was evident that Khyree was going to develop into a tremendous professional football player, but what was more impressive was his desire to become the best person he could be for his family and those around him. I am at a loss for words. My heart goes out to Khyree’s family, friends, teammates and coaches,” said O’Connell.
