Alabama offensive tackle Aaron Douglas, an All-America lineman two years ago as a Tennessee freshman before landing with the Crimson Tide in January, was found dead in Florida early Thursday.

Alabama confirmed Douglas’ death in a statement. Details surrounding the 21-year-old player’s death were not immediately known. Alabama officials were waiting to hear from all authorities involved in the matter before releasing information.

“It is a tragedy anytime you lose someone close to you and even more so when it is a member of your family,” Alabama coach Nick Saban said in a statement released by the university. “Aaron was a part of our family and always will be a part of our family at Alabama.

“He was an outstanding young man and we were excited about what he had accomplished as a player and a person in the short time he was with us.”

Douglas transferred to Alabama after spending last season at Arizona Western College and was competing for the starting left tackle job this spring. He began his career at Tennessee, where he was a freshman All-America offensive lineman in 2009.
