A Central Florida wide receiver died after voluntary strength and conditioning drills, the day before spring practice was set to begin.
Police say there was no foul play or obvious cause for redshirt freshman Ereck Plancher's late morning collapse yesterday. UCF athletic director Keith Tribble says the players had been lifting weights, then ran for about ten minutes.
After the workout, the team huddled for a quick chat. As everyone was leaving, Plancher, a 19-year-old from Naples, took a knee in obvious distress.
UCF trainers on site immediately provided CPR and the redshirt freshman was taken by ambulance to the hospital. He was pronounced dead just before noon.
