“Our entire football team is deeply saddened by the loss of Taylor,” head coach Tommy West said in a statement. “He was well respected and a popular member of our team. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.”

Bradford, a resident of Nashville, Tenn., transferred to Memphis in 2006 and was on the roster for this season, but had not played in a game this season.

Bradford lettered in three sports at Antioch High School in Nashville, and held school records in shotput and discus.

The University of Memphis had 20,562 students enrolled for last fall, according to its Web site.

The school was founded in 1912 as West Tennessee State Normal School and was renamed Memphis State College in 1941. It became Memphis State University in 1957, two years before it admitted its first black students. It was renamed the University of Memphis in 1994.
