The man killed in a motorcycle accident Sunday in Perry was a Valdosta State University football player.

Authorities say Broderick Blue, 22, a defensive lineman for VSU, died when he crashed his motorcycle into a car at Warner Avenue and Walnut Street in Perry.

Blue had transferred to VSU and played football last season.

Now, his teammates, coaches and friends are mourning his
death.

"He was a delight," said Earl Chambers, VSU's defensive line coach. "He was a good person. He cared about the players, he liked being around the players. Overall, he was just a good person. He was guaranteed to smile when he'd walk in the room."

"The best thing about Broderick was his carefree attitude and one word that would describe him was fearless," said James Hamilton, Blue's former teammate and friend. "He was a very fearless person."

Blue's funeral will be held Saturday at North Florida Community College in Madison.

Blue is survived by his two-year-old daughter.
