Junior quarterback Caden Tellier has passed away from Morgan Academy in Selma, Alabama. No age was provided.
An official cause of death has not been determined yet. He had suffered a traumatic brain injury in Friday’s football game.
“Our boy, Caden Tellier, has met Jesus face to face,” his parents Arasella and Jamie Tellier said in a statement. “We appreciate all of your prayers and we covet them for the hard days ahead. Everyone who knows Caden has known kindness, generosity, and love, and true to his nature, he is giving of himself one more time.
“Lives have been touched by the way he lived and now lives will be saved through his passing. We will walk out these next few days alongside him in his earthly body knowing that his spirit is rejoicing in Heaven. Arrangements for a service will be made soon.”
According to the Montgomery Advertiser, Tellier was injured in the third quarter against Southern Academy. Following his injury, he was airlifted to a Birmingham, Alabama hospital.
According to Michael McLendon, director of the Alabama Independent Schools Association, his school Morgan Academy will suspend their season temporarily to deal with this tragedy.
