Mr. Aschoff’s last feature for ESPN, published on Dec. 6, was about the upbringing of Clyde Edwards-Helaire, a running back for Louisiana State, and how his relationships with both his biological father and stepfather helped propel Mr. Edwards-Helaire’s success, despite doubts about his size, per source.
Mr. Aschoff was planning to marry his fiancée in New Orleans in April.
This was an unexpected death and certainly a hard time for Mr. Aschoff’s family, so we will keep them in our thoughts and prayers.
