A young football player from Alabama, named Caden Tellier, has sadly passed away due to a severe injury sustained during Friday night's game.
A head injury.
As the high school teams of Southern Academy and Morgan Academy faced off, 16-year-old quarterback Caden Tellier was hit hard.
This contact caused a brain injury, and the young player was urgently airlifted to the hospital, but it was already too late.
It was indeed via social media that Caden Tellier's family shared the heartbreaking news.
It came directly from his parents.
We are at a loss for words.
It was truly a brain injury that tragically led to his death:
We extend our deepest condolences to Caden Tellier's loved ones, teammates, and family.
Out of respect for the young man, we have removed the video of the incident.
