<p>NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. — Charleston Southern announced that freshman receiver Joe Bradshaw died Thursday night. He was 19 years old. </p>
<p>The school did not give a cause of death but did say Bradshaw died away from campus and that authorities are “still gathering information surrounding the circumstances of his death.” </p>
<p>Bradshaw was a walk-on receiver from St. Augustine, Florida who was recovering from off-season wrist surgery. He didn’t play in the Buccaneers’ spring season opener against Kennesaw State last week.</p>
<p>Charleston Southern coach Autry Denson called Bradshaw an “exceptional young man” who was committed to his football family. </p>
<p>Denson, in the school statement, added that after his surgery, Bradshaw was seen in the parking lot looking to take part in a football meeting he was excused from. </p>
<p>“I could go on and on about Joe,” Denson said. “But what is most important is that we remember him for who he was.” </p>
