AUBURN, Ala. — The former Auburn football star Quentin Groves, who played defensive end for the Tigers from 2004 to 2007 and was a second-round N.F.L. draft pick, has died. He was 32.
The Auburn spokesman Kirk Sampson said Saturday that Groves had died in his sleep while visiting Trinidad, his wife’s native country. Sampson said he did not know the cause of death.
Groves said in 2008 that he had received a diagnosis of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, which causes a rapid heartbeat.
Groves, from Greenville, Miss., was an all-Southeastern Conference performer for Auburn. He recorded 26 sacks, for a share of the university record, and was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2008.
