SHERMAN, Texas — An Austin College football player died after collapsing during a pickup basketball game on campus following an offseason workout, a school spokesman said.

Jeff Kelly confirmed today that 20-year-old linebacker Zach Swirczynski died the night before.

Teammate Scooter Means told the Sherman Herald Democrat that he had just arrived at the gym when Swirczynski collapsed between 5:30 and 6 p.m. Swirczynski was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Swirczynski was a 5-foot-8, 215-pound sophomore for the Division III school about 60 miles north of Dallas.
