Wow. I don't know what to say other than my condolences to his friends and family. God bless them during this difficult time:

wow....................... sad day.

This is heart-breaking. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

And here was his last tweet:

"There are 86,400 seconds in a day. Make sure you use one of those to thank god for everything you have #stayfocused"

Condolences to you guys, his teammates, and family.

Sorry to hear of this news. Jag fans are sending our positive thoughts and prayers your way, and hope that his family and friends are able to find comfort.

Terrible news. Thoughts and prayers from Mobile

Holy smokes. It was surreal before I read this post, but that sends chills down my spine.

My heart goes out to #KSUJason54 and his family, friends along with his Kent State Football family! Tough duty for everyone indeed, and with an attitude like his I will just bet he's a first teamer on God's squad as well.....

Such sad news. Thoughts and prayers to Jason's family. Be strong Flashes.

Wow. Really sad and tragic.

Those of us who have sons, are in a deep state of reflection. I feel and pray for Jason's family at this terrible time. This loss is indescribable and painful as our teams become our families. RIP Jason.

ESPN's Neil Everett not too happy over the lack of coverage:

I was thinking the same thing. It's strange how real news hardly gets covered. It's all entertainment today. Johnny Footballs middle finger seems to be more important.
It's always sad to have someone so young die. Say a prayer for both him and his parents.

I was shocked to see that before 8pm they already took it off the ticker.

Thoughts and prayers from the Huskies to the KSU family right now.

It is sad that they look for sexy or sizzling stories to air, look at Sam Wheeler's tweet and the news it conjured compared to Jason Bitsko's final tweet and subsequent death.

A nice story you may not have seen...
