I was looking at the all time rankings after JJ Kohl's ratings boost and saw Walter Nickel sitting at number 8. I didn't remember much about him as I didn't follow recruiting at the time, and when I looked him up, I found that he passed away less than a year ago. I don't remember reading about it here, and thought it was worth sharing. He went on to become a doctor in the Navy, and appears to have had a big but young family at the time of his passing.
