McKamey had played high school football here in Knoxville, coached by his father.

The Navy coach was quoted as saying "As our Navy football family mourns the loss of one of our brothers, we also celebrate and honor his life. He loved his family, his friends and his teammates. The Brotherhood loves you! Keep the ball `high and tight' in Heaven."

Prayers up for the family. RIP, young man.

It will be interesting to see what caused this.

According to the article he had what sounds like he previously had a closed head injury but was cleared to play again.

He had swelling of the brain, which can be caused by any number of conditions.

Sometimes knowing why can help the family come to closure and we can certainly learn from it to help prevent a similar tragedy with others.

Prayers up to the family.

So sad. Prayers up for his soul and for his family.

May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace. And may Perpetual Light shine upon them.

I played full contact football from grade 5 until senior year at a Catholic school in northern Wisconsin. It is a horribly brutal sport and I really hate to see stories like this, such a waste of life over a stupid silly game really.
