He wouldnt have died if he wasn't the size he is and had covid.


This is overly dismissive. This guy isn’t much bigger than the average D1 O-lineman.

We can’t just say “we’ll, they should lose some weight!” They need the extra pounds to do their jobs. If they’re too skinny, they could lose their spots on the team.

Should we just tell all linemen to sit out?

Update:

There is now no official cause of death as reports of him dying of Covid-19 appear to have been premature.

quote:

Jamain Stephens, a defensive lineman at California University of Pennsylvania, died Tuesday at age 20.

The school issued an official statement on Stephens' death: "California University of Pennsylvania is saddened to learn of the death of Jamain Stephens, a business administration major and a senior on the football team. Cal U mourns the loss and extends its condolences to his family and friends."

Central Catholic, Stephens' high school in Pittsburgh, initially believed he died from COVID-19 complications, though it stated Wednesday it "mistakenly attributed his death without official confirmation on cause," per Brad Everett of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
