Eastern Oregon Player Dies After Spring Game: Eastern Oregon officials say wide receiver Dylan Steigers has died of injuries suffered during the team's spring football game. Steigers took a blow to the head late in Saturday's scrimmage. He walked off the field, but later vomited on the sidelines, a sign of concussion. Steigers, 21, had a two-year-old daughter.

Sad. Had a teammate and friend in college die from a brain hemorrhage after a spring practice as well. I never heard about any 1 specific blow that caused it or whether it was caused by football at all, but he was always one of the teams hardest hitters. Of course this was years ago where these things barely made the local newspapers.
