Earlier today, we posted -- based on a press release from the school -- about Southern Miss walk-on punter Peter Wilkes dying as a result of a gun accident at his Tennessee home Thursday night.
While that’s not the case, there’s still sobering news regarding Wilkes to report.
According to a new press release from the university, Wilkes suffered an irrecoverable injury Thursday night as a result of a gun accident at his home in Union City, Tenn.
No further details were given.
Again, our condolences go out to the family and friends of Peter Wilkes.
