Senior Nicholas Kavouklis was found dead on today/this afternoon, Thursday May 23, in southern Alamance County.
Elon senior and former member of Elon’s football team Nicholas Kavouklis was found dead in a rural part of southern Alamance County just after 2 p.m. on May 23 according to an email from Vice President of Student Life Jon Dooley. Kavouklis was from Tampa, Florida and an exercise science major.
Kavouklis was a long snapper for the Phoenix and played in 11 games this past season and 39 total in his career. Kavouklis was a two-time selection to Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Academic All-Conference Team, once in 2015 and again in 2016.
A gathering will be held at 9 p.m. in Rhodes Stadium that is open to all members of the community according to Dooley’s email.
As a parent of a fellow 2019 graduate I am absolutely devastated for Nicholas’ family and friends as they try to comprehend this tragedy when they expected to celebrate his milestone accomplishment and many achievements. Please know that we will be praying for him and for all who knew and loved him. May you find strength, solace, and peace.
Thank-you for sharing your thoughts and concerns…I know the family will appreciate your prayers during their time of need…
Much appreciated….
