February 22, 1991 - May 14, 2008
Whiddon was credited with 174.5 tackles -- 14 for a loss -- during his junior year on the Fleming Island Golden Eagles. He caused three fumbles, recovering one, and was named first-team linebacker in both the county and the conference. This 17-year-old standout on the Fleming Island High School football team was tragically struck and killed by a train crossing a railroad bridge over Black Creek on May 14, 2008. He is shown above proudly sporting The Number.
Newspapers reported that his family requested he be buried wearing the number he loved. The Number has been retired at Fleming Island High School. May he rest in peace.
