Tyrek Coger’s Twitter account is frozen in time.
The 6-9 Oklahoma State basketball player from Raleigh had big dreams when he headed to Stillwater, Oklahoma, last summer.
His Twitter home page features these final lines on his bio below a photo of him playing basketball for Cape Fear Community College:
“life has its ups and downs. strive for success,” Coger wrote.
He was certainly striving for that success on July 22 when he and his teammates ran the stairs at Oklahoma State’s football stadium at 5 p.m. in triple-digit heat.
The 22-year-old Coger showed no signs of distress while completing the drill, but once it was completed he sat down and collapsed.
