Title: OU Sooners Starting MLB Found Dead

I'll be interested to find out how he died.



The Enid News, Box’s hometown paper, reports that Box was taken to Mercy Hospital in El Reno and was later transported to an Oklahoma City Hospital.  That paper also reports that Box was found unresponsive, although they report that event occurred today and gave no word on his condition.

Just a week after the death of Alabama offensive lineman Aaron Douglas, there is, heartbreakingly, the passing of another Div. 1-A college football player on which to report.

While the details are very sketchy right now, multiple media outlets are reporting that Oklahoma linebacker Austin Box died Wednesday.

NBC News affiliate KFOR in Oklahoma City is reporting that Box was found unresponsive at a home in El Reno (Okla.) late Wednesday night.  He was mediflighted to a local hospital and later pronounced dead.
