College Football Player Dies Days After Being Critically Injured During Game

The school said Tyler Ulrich suffered a traumatic injury in Saturday’s game and died after five days in the hospital.

  • Southern Nazarene University sophomore safety Tyler Ulrich died on Thursday, five days after sustaining what the school described as a "traumatic injury" during a football game against Ouachita Baptist.
  • Ulrich, a sophomore from Azle, Texas, was injured during a 49-14 loss last Saturday, with the game delayed nearly an hour while he received medical attention before transport to a hospital.
  • The defensive back had 16 starts and ranked third on the Crimson Storm with 36 tackles, traits his former Azle High School coach Jason Vines described as evidence of a "selfless" man.
  • Following the announcement by SNU President Keith Newman, the university canceled its game against Southwestern Oklahoma State scheduled for Saturday.
  • Campus Pastors and Our Renew Counseling Center are providing support to the university community, while prayers continue for Ulrich's family and teammates during this time of grief.
