He suffered a medical episode during practice on Monday. EMS was called, and they summoned a medical helicopter once on scene. It was later revealed it was a cardiac episode.

Odin Hensley has passed away as a result of complications from a medical emergency he experienced during football practice earlier this week. Odin had been part of the Lake Travis ISD family for many years, beginning at Lake Pointe Elementary School. At Lake Travis High School, he was a dedicated two-sport athlete who excelled in wrestling and football. His teachers and coaches remember Odin as a kind, determined young man who was a valued teammate, classmate, and friend. His presence touched many lives, and he will be deeply missed.

Lake Travis is one of the premier football schools in Texas. They have won multiple state championships and produced a number of notable players, including Baker Mayfield and Garrett Wilson.

The school and community is understandably pretty shaken. Odin grew up with many of his teammates that witnessed hs distress and being loaded onto a helicopter.

This is just a terrible story no matter what

I know in college they do a ton of physical tests before you start a season. I would think for bigtime football in high school they would do the same but i have no clue honestly

Before college seasons we'd do a full evaluation and blood test. Lake Travis is a premier HS program so wonder what goes into their pre-season assessments if any.

I would also like to know if he drank any type of energy drink? I have a daughter playing college softball and last fall during conditioning one of her teammates had an slight cardiac episode that was attributed to the use of energy drinks.
