Former Alabama running back Ahmaad Galloway was found dead in his St. Louis apartment on Monday, in response to WVTM13.
Galloway, 42, was an eighth grade English teacher at Compton-Drew Middle School in St. Louis, where the varsity’s principal, Susan Reid, said he was found deceased during a welfare check.
“Ahmaad was at all times on time, very responsible. So, we knew something could be improper,” Reid said. “There wasn’t anything disrupted at Ahmaad’s apartment, so we’re pondering that it might have been a medical issue.”
A reason for death has not been determined for Galloway, who played for the Crimson Tide from 1999 to 2002, ending with 1,830 yards and 17 touchdowns..
“The health worker is working to learn how Ahmaad died,” Reid said. “The family is coming together from different parts of the country before deciding on funeral arrangements.”
Galloway served primarily as a backup to future NFL MVP Shaun Alexander in his time in Tuscaloosa. He was chosen by the Broncos within the seventh round of the 2003 NFL Draft, and sat out his rookie season while rehabbing a knee injury he sustained in his senior 12 months at Alabama.
Upon his return to the sector, Galloway played in NFL Europe with the Scottish Claymores, before spending a season with the San Diego Chargers. He last played for the Frankfurt Galaxy in 2005.
Galloway went into highschool coaching in 2010.
He’s survived by two children, Austin and Aubrey.
“Ahmaad was at all times quiet and humble,” Galloway’s sister Kimberley Slaughter said. “My brother loved football growing up and later loved his children Austin and Aubrey.”
Reid said that the door to Galloway’s classroom at the varsity will likely be kept shut out of respect, adding that students will make signs and banners in his memory. Students at Compton-Drew Middle School are receiving counseling.
