AUBURN, Ala. -- Former Auburn defensive end Quentin Groves has died at 32, a school spokesman said Saturday.
Kirk Sampson said Groves died in his sleep while visiting Trinidad, where his wife is from. Sampson said he didn't know the cause of death.
Groves, who played for the Tigers from 2004-07, finished with 26 career sacks at Auburn, tying the school's all-time record. He earned first-team All-SEC honors as both a junior and a senior, and his senior class won more games (50) at Auburn than any other class in school history.
Medical tests at the 2008 NFL combine revealed that Groves had Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, which causes a rapid heartbeat.
