Authorities responded to the scene at approximately 11:30 p.m. on June 7, where Woodall was pronounced dead. The second rider sustained minor injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital.
The Hinds County Sheriff’s Office has launched an investigation into the accident.
Woodall played basketball at Copiah-Lincoln Community College, Grambling State University, and, most recently, Tougaloo College during the 2022-23 season. The 6-foot-6 forward was twice named Second Team All-Gulf Coast Athletic Conference
Tougaloo College paid tribute to Woodall on Instagram, describing him as “a beloved former men’s basketball standout” known for his “larger-than-life presence, fierce competitiveness on the court, and kind-hearted spirit off it.”
The statement emphasized that his impact reached far beyond basketball, calling him “a friend, a brother, and a true Bulldog through and through,” and extended condolences to his family, friends, teammates, and all who knew him.
