“他对他的队友产生了持久的影响,即使在他离开UW之后,这是他的一种类型的证明,”威斯康星州的防守协调员吉姆·莱昂哈德在一份声明中说。“他的个性很有感染力,和他在一起很开心。我们的团队为他和他的家人感到难过。我想以个人名义向他的家人和弗吉尼亚足球大家庭表示哀悼。”
该大学美国研究和媒体研究教授杰克·汉密尔顿在推特上写道,钱德勒今年春天在他的班上。
汉密尔顿说,钱德勒在弗吉尼亚大学“特意多次来到我的办公室,经常只是问一些事情如何运作的问题”。

University of Virginia mass shooting: What we know about the 3 football players killed
The University of Virginia is in mourning afterthree members of the football team were killed in a mass shootingon the Charlottesville campus Sunday night.
Two other students were injured in the shooting which unfolded on a bus as it returned from a field trip.
The suspect, also a student, is in custody.
Here's what we know about the lives lost:
Devin Chandler
Devin Chandler was a second-year student from Virginia Beach, University President Jim Ryan said at a news conference Monday.
Chandler, a wide receiver, had transferred to UVA from the University of Wisconsin.
“He had a lasting impacting on his teammates, even after he left UW, which is a testament to the type of person he was," Wisconsin's defensive coordinator, Jim Leonhard, said in a statement. "His personality was infectious and he was a joy to be around. Our team is hurting for him and his family. I want to personally extend my condolences to his family and the Virginia football family.”
Jack Hamilton, a professor of American Studies and Media Studies at the university, tweeted that Chandler was in his class this spring.

Chandler "made a point to come to my office hours repeatedly, often just to ask questions about how things worked" at UVA, Hamilton said.
The professor said he helped Chandler declare an American Studies major, "which he was really excited about."
"He was an unbelievably nice person, always a huge smile, really gregarious and funny," Hamilton tweeted, adding, "It is so sad and enraging that he is gone."
Lavel Davis Jr.
Lavel Davis Jr., a wide receiver from Ridgeville, South Carolina, was in his third year, Ryan said.
ESPN reporter Andrea Adelson in a tweet described Davis as "bright, thoughtful and engaging." She said he was "a beacon of light determined to make the world a better place."
In a university video last year, Davis said he loved movies and reading Shakespeare and the Bible.
He called the the university the "perfect place for anyone who wants to work hard and be great."
Scott Eisberg, sports director at ABC Charleston affiliate WCIV, in a tweet called Davis a “wonderful kid,” and shared footage of the standout athlete on the field in high school.
Hamilton, the professor, said Davis was in his class this semester.
"After our first day of class this semester he made a point to come up and shake my hand and told me I should call him Vel," Hamilton tweeted. "One thing that struck me about Vel was how much his classmates liked him and vice versa. In my experience star athletes often tend to hang out with other athletes (understandable, given the time commitment) but Vel seemed to go out of his way to make friends with non-athletes."
D'Sean Perry
D'Sean Perry was a fourth-year student from Miami, Ryan said.
The 22-year-old was asked this season to move from linebacker to defensive end, and he “adjusted admirably and always with smile,” the Charlottesville newspaperThe Daily Progress reported.
