frick, that just put a damper on my night. Why would I guess it might be Sickle Cell?


Heart defect.

Coach Nader's nephew collapsed during a game in his senior season. Nader's brother (kids dad) was giving CPR to his own son on the field.

Matt did not die but was diagnosed with a heart condition that forced him to give up football. He was a 4* recruit and was commited to UT.

Sad to hear, just always terrible and scary to hear.

And UT still honored his scholarship and he stood on the sidelines his freshman year...not sure if he still does it.


An o-lineman from Tampa Plant just had to quit football because of concussions, not heart related but sad still.
