Sad news:

A former University of Illinois football player hoping to play his final collegiate season at Winona State University collapsed and died Monday night at the Minnesota school.

Shawn Afryl, 22, was working out at Winona State Monday when he collapsed, according to Winona State associate head coach Cameron Keller. Keller said Afryl was taking part in voluntary strength and conditioning drills Monday night.

Keller said no coaches were present, because of NCAA rules regarding such workouts. But the program’s strength and conditioning instructors were present, and administered immediate CPR until paramedics arrived, the coach said. Keller said the conditioning staff members are trained in CPR.
