http://espn.go.com/ncf/conversations/_/id/7329694/oregon-state-beavers-freshman-football-player-fred-thompson-diesCORVALLIS, Ore. -- Oregon State says freshman football player Fred Thompson has died.
School officials say the 19-year-old Thompson was playing basketball on campus Wednesday when he collapsed. He was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Thompson, 6-foot-4 and 317 pounds, was a true freshman defensive tackle from Richmond, Calif.
The university said football coach Mike Riley was off-campus recruiting and was en route to Corvallis.
Friends I've talked to said he had a heart attack, can't believe it at his age. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
