We were watching it, but I wasn’t watching the screen when it happened. I watched the replay several tines and it didn’t look like a vicious hit. He wasn’t sent reeling.
It looks just like many other sudden deaths of young athletes on field that I’ve seen.
I, too, was thinking that this hit didn’t look extraordinary...as you say...didn’t send this poor young man reeling.
And, as another poster mentioned....their equipped with protective gear specifically designed for these kinds of hits/blows.
Just awful.
Prayers.
