More college athletes die each year playing basketball than any other college sport.

19-year-old Alabama State basketball player Deshean Porchea died Wednesday afternoon following a game of pickup on campus. According to the report issued by the university, the sophomore passed out Wednesday afternoon after walking off the court and never regained consciousness. An autopsy on the sophomore is being performed today to determine the cause of death.

“He was just a good all-around kid,” said ASU coach Lewis Jackson, who heard the news while on a recruiting trip in Florida. “He played with a contagious fire that carried over to his teammates. He was a good person. It is a great loss to our team and our university.”

According to the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, 100,000 young athletes die each year from all cardio-vascular disorders, including cardiomyopathy, as a result of participation in sports. This is twice as many as die in auto accidents. Of the 100,000 who die annually, 45,000 of them play basketball, not boxing or football.
