South Florida Football Player Dies

A routine offseason football workout became a tragic event. South Florida running back, Keeley Dorsey, collapsed Wednesday at the team's athletic facility. The 19 year old was taken to a local hospital where he later died. I could find no word as to what caused his collapse and eventual death. Dont take this the wrong way, but it seems odd to me that it is a running back that collapses. Usually we see lineman and such collapsing after workouts. Now we don't know the cause yet, but it sounds like heat exhaustion. I understand that it is Winter, even in Florida, but this seems a little off.
