He was one of the linebackers that played with reckless abandon and will be missed.

Wow, that is very sad news. He was only a few months older than my son. Did not really hear his name his first 2 years at UH. But then he had a really nice year last season and was really looking forward to seeing him be a contributor this and next season.

RIP Scheyenne Sanitoa and best wishes to his family and friends.

Losing this young man is very tough news. He was super humble when I saw him a few times after games, which is a great reflection on his upbringing.

He played very stoutly for stature and had tremendous speed - which I think was underrated. I was looking forward to him breaking out this year.

I lost a few of my friends in similar fashion when I was young. Mental health and having outlets to a listening/caring ear is critical in life especially bc some have a hard time not spiralling out of control. We'll never know his toughts/feels, but I hope ppl can use this to find ways to be understanding, caring, reach out to their loved ones or seek help. #resteasy41
Be humble and confident in yourself and all things you do. :zook:

I tried to search, so what was the cause of death? All the web stories are from when it happened. "Cause of death of not has not been disclosed."

From your reply, it's mental health? What exactly?
