Tait Hendrix was a multi-sport athlete and honor student at Jackson Preparatory School. After graduation in 2005, he signed to play baseball at Millsaps College where he received All-Conference honors and was named to the All-Tournament Team as both a pitcher and outfielder. As a competitor on the field, Tait was respected by both teammates and opponents for his maximum effort and sportsmanship. His love of sports, competitive spirit and admiration for all competitors who gave 100% regardless of their skill level resulted in many lifelong friendships. After graduation from Millsaps, Tait took additional classes from Jackson State University and Holmes Community College in preparation to attend Dental School at UMMC. Unfortunately, Tait died in a motorcycle accident in June 2014 just before beginning dental school. Tait’s friends formed the Team Tait Foundation to influence and develop young leaders.
