A former BYU running back was killed in a crash with a wrong-way driver this week.

Ryan Folsom died Sunday on I-5 near Anderson, California, on his way to medical residency interviews.

He played for BYU in 2007, and again in 2010-2011.

Preston Hadley says Folsom was one of the most welcoming guys on the team.

“He was one of the first guys who would just reach out and make you feel welcome. He always had a smile on his face,” he said.

Hadley says Folsom just loved to play football. Other teammates are tweeting that he embodied everything good about BYU.

Folsom’s wife was due with their third baby this month.
