University of Maine defensive back Darius Minor died during a preseason workout Tuesday at the age of 18, the school announced.
According to the school's release, Minor was participating in the third week of Maine's freshman offseason program when he collapsed 15 minutes into a "supervised light workout." Team training staff and emergency personnel were unable to resuscitate Minor.
"The Athletics Department, our student-athletes and the entire campus mourn the loss of this bright and promising member of our community. We ask all to keep him, his family and his friends in your thoughts," University of Maine President Joan Ferrini-Mundy said.
