Tyrek Coger, a 21 year old basketball player for Oklahoma State, collapsed and sadly passed away after a team workout yesterday. The cause of death was not immediately released in a statement by the school.

Coger had transferred from Cape Fear Community College in Wilmington, North Carolina, where he averaged 12.2 points and 7.0 rebounds per game last season. He was originally signed to go to Ole Miss University but an eligibility rule within the SEC conference prevented it. Coger then fell in love with Oklahoma State and wound up there instead.

“Tyrek was excited to be at Oklahoma State and had such passion for the game and was looking forward to being an OSU Cowboy,” coach Brad Underwood said in the statement. “Losing a member of the team is like losing a member of the family. But we know our loss pales in comparison to the pain his family is going through.”

Coger had an operation during his senior year of high school to remove fluid around his brain, according to the Stillwater (Okla.) News Press. Doctors warned Coger to not perform anything strenuous or he’d be put at risk of a seizure.

Our condolences go out to his family and friends.
