According to Bibb County Coroner Leon Jones, Baba Agbaje was playing at the intramural fields when he collapsed and went into cardiac arrest.

MACON, Ga. — A 21-year-old Mercer University student-athlete is dead after collapsing during a pick-up soccer game Monday night.

According to Bibb County Coroner Leon Jones, Abdul Rasheed Babatunde Agbaje was playing at the intramural fields when he collapsed and went into cardiac arrest.

He was taken to Atrium Health Navicent, the Medical Center where he was pronounced dead at 7:48 p.m.

Agbaje was from Peachtree City. His family has been notified. An autopsy will be performed.

Mercer President William D. Underwood released a statement about Agbaje's passing.

“Our hearts go out to the Agbaje family on their tragic loss and ask the Mercer family to keep them in their thoughts and prayers,” said Mercer President William D. Underwood. "Words cannot convey the extent of our sadness over Baba’s passing.”

Agbaje was a former member of the Mercer men’s soccer team who completed his eligibility last fall.

Mercer Athletics released a statement about his passing on Monday night.

"Baba has been a valued member of the Mercer student-athlete community over the last four years," said Athletic Director Jim Cole. "His coaches and teammates are obviously hurting, and we are focused on providing support to the family and to the team. The entire Mercer family is in mourning tonight. This hurts, but we will lean on each other in the coming days."

Mercer soccer head coach Brad Ruzzo said their heart goes out to his family and loved ones.

“We’re heartbroken over Baba’s passing," Ruzzo said. “He was an incredible person, who embodied what it means to be a Mercer Bear. Everyone who knew Baba loved him and he was a blessing to coach. He will be greatly missed.”

Baba joined the men's soccer team in 2019 with his brother, Salam. Baba was named to the Southern Conference Academic Honor Roll in the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons.

He was a standout in high school, leading McIntosh to a state title in 2017 and 2019. He was named the 2019 Fayette County Boy's Co-Player of the Year.

My young cousin who is a teenage boy collapsed at school while on the play field. He lost consciousness, CPR was started and he was transported to the hospital by paramedics. He had a major stroke which caused permanent brain damage and he went into a coma. He had no previous health problems and was very athletic. He had his Covid shots and all of the boosters. Months later he is now able to walk and talk again but like many elderly stroke victims he still has a long way to go.

His parents who are both college professors insist that the Covid shots could not have had anything to do with it.

They might not be able to bear the thought of unwitting complicity in the state of their son.

“Abdul Rasheed Babatunde Agbaje”

By the time the paramedics finished getting his name spelled correctly by friends, it was too late to save him.

When my uncle asked about the Covid shots that his grandson had been forced to take... his son and daughter-in-law went ballistic with screaming, crying, and profanities. The reaction indicates to me that whether they want to admit it or not, I believe that they are aware enough to realize that the Covid shots are the most likely explanation.

Just got an automated phone call from the school district advising that students 13 to 19 can get a cardiac test if they want it.

Now why would anyone start a program to test the hearts of kids? Seem , I don’t know, odd.

I pity them if or when the nickel finally drops.

It’s all a big joke to you. This was a reckless coup to get rid of Trump but why should you care?
