One of Utah State head football coach Blake Anderson's sons has died.

Utah State athletic director John Hartwell issued a statement on Tuesday:

Anderson and his late wife, Wendy, had three children—sons Coleton and Cason, and daughter Callie—during their 27-year marriage. Wendy died in August 2019 after being diagnosed with breast cancer two years earlier.

Anderson sent out a tweet on Monday, though it's unclear when his son died.

Anderson married Brittany Anderson (nee King) in March 2021 and adopted her two daughters, Collins and Ellison.
