HS Football Star Reggie Garrett Dies After TD Pass

A Texas high school football player died Friday night after collapsing following a touchdown pass, officials said.

Reggie Garrett, a senior quarterback at West Orange Stark High School, jogged to the sideline after throwing a touchdown pass with nine minutes left in the second quarter, but then passed out on the sidelines, according to ABC Beaumont, Texas, affiliate KBMT-TV.

Defensive coordinator Cornel Thompson said he saw Garrett collapse after the special teams huddled on the sideline. Thompson said he knew Garrett had a history of seizures, but did not know to what extent, or how serious they were.

Garrett's teammate, Bryce Crew, said he came to the sideline after kicking the extra point, and saw Garrett fall to the ground and start "twitching."
