Northern Kentucky is mourning the loss of one of its most decorated athletes.

Brandent Englemon died Thursday at the age of 36. The Holmes High School graduate was a football and basketball standout. He played football at the University of Michigan, playing 35 games for the Wolverines from 2005-07.

He recorded 170 total tackles at safety in three seasons on the University of Michigan football team. He posted three interceptions in his senior season in 2007.

After the 2007 season, Michigan named Englemon the winner of the Dr. Arthur D. Robinson Scholarship Award as the top student-athlete on the football team and received the Charles Woodson Award as the team's top defensive back. The Woodson award is named after the NFL standout and former Heisman Trophy winner at defensive back.
