UCF freshman dies after participating in conditioning drills
#1
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A Central Florida wide receiver died Tuesday after voluntary strength and conditioning drills, the day before spring practice was set to begin.
Police said there was no foul play or obvious cause for redshirt freshman Ereck Plancher's late-morning collapse. UCF athletic director Keith Tribble said the players had been lifting weights and then ran for about 10 minutes.
After the workout, the team huddled for a quick chat. As everyone was leaving, Plancher, a 19-year-old from Naples, took a knee in obvious distress, Tribble said. UCF trainers on site immediately provided CPR and Plancher was taken by ambulance to the hospital. He was pronounced dead just before noon.
