Addazio calls off media post tragedy

Football coach Steve Addazio canceled media availability after the second day of training camp Sunday morning following the passing of Garrett Reid, brother of Owls’ graduate assistant coach Britt Reid and redshirt-freshman running back Spencer Reid.

Garrett Reid, the 29-year-old son of Philadelphia Eagles’ head coach Andy Reid, was found dead in his Lehigh University dorm room Sunday after a 911 call was placed at 7:20 a.m. The cause of death is under investigation.

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Reid family,” Addazio said in a statement released following Sunday morning’s practice.

Spencer Reid redshirted last season at Temple after playing running back and linebacker at Harriton High School. Britt Reid is entering his third season as a coaching assistant at Temple.
