Terrible News: Former Michigan State Adreian Payne Has Reportedly Died At Just 31 Years Old

Unbelievably sad news this morning as it was reported that Adriean Payne, a star at Michigan State, died at 31. Payne was a monster at Michigan State. Put up 16 and 7 his senior year before getting drafted 15th overall. At the same time what he might be remembered for more is his friendship with Lacy Holsworth. Lacy was an 8-year old battling cancer who became good friends with Payne, even joining him for his Senior Night.
