On December 23, Howard University released a brief statement.
"Today, the Howard University family mourns the loss of student-athlete Terrence Tusan , a senior from Arlington, Texas, who was majoring in Leisure Studies. Terrence played as a running back on the Howard University Football team for three seasons. We extend our deepest sympathies to the Tusan family at this difficult time."
Tusan, a redshirt junior, finished 2014 with 354 yards and a touchdown. The touchdown came in a game against Rutgers.
“He was a good kid,” Clarence Nevels, a mentor and former coach of Tusan's told the Record-Chronicle. “He had good grades and was just down at AT&T Stadium for Thanksgiving Day Madness Youth Football speaking to students about believing in themselves.”
