Reactions pour in after death of ex-OSU star Dwayne Haskins

Former Ohio State and Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins died early Saturday morning after he was struck by a vehicle in Florida. He was 24.

Haskins reportedly was in Florida to train with other members of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

“Dwayne was a talented young man who had a long life ahead of him,” said Ron Rivera, head coach of the Washington Commanders in a statement released Saturday morning.

Here’s how other members of the media, former teammates and fans reacted on social media:

RIP to Dwayne Haskins. He said he was gonna go to Ohio State the first time he stepped foot on campus as a little kid. And he became a Buckeye legend.

Dwayne meant so much to so many people. His smile was infectious and he was a guy you wanted to be around. We are all in shock about losing him. We are going to miss the heck out of him as well. We lost you way too early. Luckily I got a chance to get to know you. RIP DH

The world lost a great person today. When Dwayne first walked into the locker room I could tell he was an upbeat guy. He was always making people smile, never taking life for granted. His impact on me will last a forever.
