Two years after experiencing the tragedy of losing his son, Ray Lewis is in mourning once again.

The family of the NFL legend is asking for prayers after yet another tragic loss.

One of Ray Lewis’s family members died suddenly at a young age.

His family is currently reeling from the news that former college football cornerback/safety turned coach Keyshawn Wilder has passed away. Wilder is Ray Lewis’ nephew, and his mother is his sister.

The school announced the tragic news over the weekend on Instagram.

“It is with deep sadness that Shenandoah Athletics announces the passing of beloved former-student athlete and assistant football coach, Keyshawn Wilder,” the post read.

 

“Wilder’s dedication to the Shenandoah football team was profound both on and off the field. His hard work and compassion for the game translated directly to those around him, and his incredible leadership helped pave the way for new leaders to follow in his footsteps.

“We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, colleagues, teammates, and the entire Shenandoah Football family during this difficult time. We stand with them in solidarity and prayer, and we pray for the strength to bear this very painful loss. May his soul rest in peace.”

Shenandoah University Athletics declined to provide further details about Wilder’s death.

The nephew of Ray Lewis served as an assistant coach for the team in 2024 after completing his playing career in 2023.

The Baltimore, Maryland, native graduated from Randallstown High School and played at Shenandoah in 2019 and from 2021-23. During his time in college, he appeared in 38 games and racked up 142 tackles, 13 interceptions, 28 passes defended, and five blocked kicks.

Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
