Ray Lewis III, the son of Baltimore Ravens Pro Football Hall of Famer Ray Lewis, has died at age 28.
His death was announced by his younger brother Rahsaan Lewis on Thursday in an Instagram story.
“Really can’t believe I’m even typing this but RIP big brother,” Rahsaan Lewis wrote. “A true angel I pray (you’re) at peace now because (I know) how much you was (really) hurtin … I love you I love you I love you.”
“Great young man and a better teammate,” Virginia Union associate head coach Diego Ryland told TMZ Sports. “The entire Virginia Union University community is praying for the family as they deal with the loss of Ray.”
Ray Lewis III played college football at the University of Miami like his father. Ray III later played cornerback at Coastal Carolina and Division II Virginia Union. He was kicked off the football team at Coastal Carolina and expelled from the university in 2016 following a grand jury indictment on a charge of third-degree criminal sexual assault.
Those charges were dropped by law enforcement officials in South Carolina. He went on to play indoor football for the Wyoming Mustangs in 2021.
