I'll always remember Sam running with a raised talon on his way to a touchdown against Navy. He was taken way too soon. So tragic.

Tragic loss. Thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family.

Another young life taken too soon. Rest in peace Sam.

The Mean Green Nation mourns the loss of this young member. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Dibrell family.

If anyone would like to send the Dibrell family a card, I have their address and will PM to those who want it.

Terrible news.. Sam was a great kid who was liked by everyone. So sorry to hear this. Prayers for the Dibrell family, and the Mean Green Nation for this horrible loss.

_{So sorry. Things like this make your own everyday problems seem so minute. God Bless.}

me too! that's something i will never forget. my prayers go out to his family.

My prayers are with the Dibrell family. Things like this put life in perspective and really bring to light how ridiculous it is to criticize young men that leave the NT program early. I was guilty of this and leaving the program early is nothing compared to leaving Earth too soon. Remember to always tell your family and friends that you love them everytime you see them, because we never know when it will be our last encounter with them.

I pray for his family through their period of mourning and hope they will live with found memories of Sam. A tragic loss, and I can't even imagine the loss of a child. May God bless the Dibrells.

Every parent's worst nightmare. God bless the Dibrell's.

You said it well, sir. The only comforting thing I can think of for those loved ones left with the pain is that things get better with time.

Keeping his family in my prayers tonight. If you have kids make sure you give them extra hugs and kisses in the morning. Even if they are teenagers! You just don't know what each day will bring. So sad.

Agreed. Circumstances for players in D1 football are always different and if your on the outside you will never know. I lived with Sam for 2 years after he was done and he continued to be a big supporter of UNT football and me until the end. He will always be a member of the Mean Green Family. Godspeed D.I.B
