“William was the epitome of what you would want for any young man,” Wilberforce University Athletics Director Derek Williams said. “This is a huge loss for the university and his home community.”
He was described as “a respected member of the campus community” and had a 3.5 GPA.
Easton died April 9, a day before his 22nd birthday.
Wilberforce University will award Easton a posthumous degree during commencement ceremonies on May 29.
