Zach Swirczynski, a sophomore at Austin College, died Monday night after a pickup basketball game on campus, a school spokesman confirmed to the Associated Press.

Swirczynski, who played fullback for the Kangaroos and got 30 carries last season, "was just playing basketball with a bunch of guys and he just tensed up, took one big breath and went down," teammate Scooter Means told the Sherman (Texas) Herald Democrat. "Then he started shaking like it was a seizure or something. Our trainer came right over and started doing CPR."

He was transported to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He was 20.
