Walsh joined the guys on TMZ Sports TV show and opened up about his relationship with Beast Mode and why it meant so much to him.
“After the passing, he texted me and was like, ‘How are you holding up?’ and I really appreciated that. Especially him being one of my biggest idols. I look up to that guy.”
Biaggio is one of the top high school running backs in the country; he’s about to start his senior year at Bishop Gorman High School in Nevada, the same place where Snoop’s son Cordell Broadus played. Biaggio recently announced that he will attend California Berkeley.
