Ravens Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis included multiple pictures of his departed comrade with his X post. He referred to Jacoby as his brother and said that he would be missed, just like Torrey was.
“They can’t take the memories and the hard work you put in on and off the football field. You always gave back and always a pillar in the community, a @Ravens for life,” Ray further expressed.
Reposting a GIF of Jacoby dancing after scoring a goal, Pat McAfee called him “an absolute legend.” He affirmed that the athlete who “lit up every room/field” had been adored by everyone he had met. “Rest easy my brother..we will miss your presence,” he continued.
In addition, Robert Griffin III praised Jacoby with a photo of him and his Ravens colleagues having fun on the field. He prayed for the friend, family, and loved ones of the Super Bowl champion.
Robert referred to the athlete as a “Baltimore Ravens legend,” calling him a “triple threat” who was quick-witted, athletic, and able to dance. He added that Jacoby was taken from them too soon and that he would be missed.
The Houston Texans posted a black-and-white photo of the deceased athlete along with a statement expressing their “deep sadness” at his passing. The group offered his family their condolences and best wishes. On social media, Jacoby’s supporters also expressed their sorrow and sympathies.
Fans of Jacoby also wrote about him on social media. One parent, in particular, shared photos of the celebrity posing and talking with her two sons on X. Jacoby, ” RIP Jacoby Gone too soon. Got to see him interact with the youth and my sons and seemed like great guy,” she wrote.
J.J.’s article prompted a sports enthusiast to respond with a straightforward message: “Rest in peace.” In response to the same message, another X user wrote, ” I’m shocked! He’ll be missed by all football fans.” Another netizen replied, “3 days after turning 40?! Inconceivable!”
Jacoby began serving as Lane College’s wide receivers coach in 2018. Before leaving, he coached the tight ends at Morgan State and the receivers at Baltimore’s Calvert Hall High School. He was brought on as Alabama State’s receivers coach in 2022.
He may also be remembered by some for his partnership with Karina Smirnoff during his time as a contestant on “Dancing with the Stars.” He was talented in dancing, as some of his coworkers said, and made it to the competition finals before finishing in third place.
Jacoby recently earned recognition, which coincides with his demise. He was inducted into the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Hall of Fame on July 10, one day before he turned forty.
Aside from this, he is a Hall of Famer at Marion Abramson, his New Orleans high school, and in the Hall of Fame at his alma institution.
