Joey Counts Passed Away

[OrgonGriz]

Terrible news to hear. He was always a favorite of mine to watch busting through tackles. Thoughts and prayers for his family and friends. RIP Joey.

Sad. Melancholy news. I remember that glorious moment in the Smokey haze. RIP Joey. A grizzly legend.

Very sad news. Was at the game when he scored the TD vs NDSU. Game as one of the top 5 all time for me.

He brought it every game. Hoping the loss inspires the team for the remainder of the season!

I will bet my retirement account that our team will be wearing a #21 sticker on their helmets or will remember him in some other way, and our coaches will stress the importance of your teammates and life, something like, " Today, we are here, tomorrow we might not be !!!"

I agree with what you said.

Not only will I never forget his GRIZ days, but honestly thought his personality and physicality would be a perfect fit for WWE.

Joey was a friend of my son. Tomorrow I will be in the NEZ standing at the same seat of the famous score looking toward the south end zone thinking of Joey and that play!

I hope the media department at UM gives ESPN a heads up so they can show the game clip and honor his service.

GAWD! This is sickening. He made his mark with the Griz. The NDSU clincher was the cherry on top of his career. They say the good die young. If so, looks like I'll be around a long time.
