Reed Ryan, a college football player for the University of Minnesota Duluth, died on Tuesday at the age of 22, a week after collapsing during a workout.
Ryan’s family wrote an obituary following the former defensive lineman’s death. They explained the circumstances surrounding the 22-year-old’s passing.
“Reed went into cardiac arrest on November 21st following a football team workout in the weight-room doing what he loved. This was the result of an undetected genetic heart condition and a large, loving heart. The athletic training team was tremendous in their efforts to immediately initiate CPR and regain his pulse,” the obituary read.
Ryan was a defensive lineman and had eight tackles in nine games this season. He came to Minnesota Duluth after spending the previous four years with North Dakota State, where he won two FCS national championships.
Ryan was a star defensive lineman at Waunakee High School in Wisconsin, where he also wrestled for four years.
Minnesota Duluth announced the news of Ryan’s death on Wednesday.
