Aggie head basketball coach Mark Turgeon commented on the tragegy Sunday.
“The world has lost a great kid today,” Turgeon said. “Tobi epitomized the term student-athlete. He was a very good student. He worked hard in the classrooms and on the basketball court and he was a terrific basketball player. This is difficult to understand and today is a very sad day. My heart aches for his mom and dad. Tobi was an only child and I would like everyone to pray for Tobi’s parents.”
Turgeon also told Andy Katz that Oyedeji was going to become an integral part of the Texas A&M program.
“He was going to be a big part of our program,” Turgeon said. “More than just basketball, his personality, his character, he would have helped us in so many ways. He was a great student. He epitomized the values we have here.”
