IRVING, Texas – American Athletic Conference Commissioner Mike Aresco has issued the following statement on the passing of former University of Cincinnati football student-athlete Korey Cunningham.
We are stunned and saddened to learn of the passing of Korey Cunningham, who was a member of Cincinnati’s 2014 American Athletic Conference championship team and who went on to become a team captain and an all-conference player. He was a key performer on some outstanding teams during the early years of our conference prior to his NFL career and was beloved by his teammates at the college and professional level.
We extend our deepest condolences to Korey’s family, friends and teammates and to the entire Cincinnati community.
