PANOLA COUNTY, MS. (THECOUNT) — Dion Stutts, a two-sport athlete at Memphis University School, who recently committed to play college football at the University of Arkansas, has died in an apparent ATV accident Tuesday night in Panola County, Mississippi. He was 18 years old.

According to reports, the accident occurred near his farm in Batesville, Mississippi.

The sad news was confirmed by MUS football coach and athletic director Bobby Alston;

“Our hearts are broken for the family. Dion was such a great young man. He had a smile that warmed your heart when you had a chance to be around him,” Alston told the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
