A Mississippi State University student and offensive lineman died Wednesday, the
school said in a statement.

Samuel Westmoreland of Tupelo, Mississippi, was a freshman student-athlete
majoring in industrial technology, the school said in a statement.

Westmoreland would have turned 19 on Friday, according to his athletics page
biography.



“One of the most profound lessons I’ve learned while leading this great
university is that the tragic loss of one of our students diminishes all of our
students — and all of us at Mississippi State feel the impact of Sam
Westmoreland’s death,” University President Mark E. Keenum said in a written
statement.

Westmoreland was found late Wednesday morning at Blackjack Missionary Baptist
Church in Starkville, Capt. Brett Watson of the Oktibbeha County Sheriff's
Office told NBC affiliate WTVA of Tupelo.




No foul play is suspected, Watson told the station.



Additional details about Westmoreland's death were not immediately available.

Head football coach Mike Leach and athletics director John Cohen said they were
heartbroken by the sudden death.

"Sam was a beloved son, brother and teammate, and a tremendous young man with a
limitless future," Leach said in a written statement. "He will always be
remembered and deeply missed by everyone who knew and loved him."

Westmoreland was a graduate of Tupelo High School, where he played football. In
a statement shared Wednesday on Twitter by the Tupelo School District, the high
school's football coach said Westmoreland was a leader who was voted a team
captain his senior year.

"Sam was a fantastic young man, brother, son and teammate," coach Ty Hardin
said. "His teammates and coaches viewed Sam as a ray of sunshine with a
contagious smile. ... His leadership and impact on our program will be carried
on forever."

The university said it is working with the sheriff's and county coroner's
offices to determine what happened. It said counseling sessions are available.
