Caleb White, an Alabama high school basketball star, has died after he reportedly collapsed during a workout at school.
The 17-year-old was pronounced dead at a local hospital Thursday, according to multiple reports.
White was a three-star prospect and averaged 20.9 points, 3.1 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game.
The cause of death is currently unknown, however AL.com reports an autopsy will be performed Friday to determine it.
White was said to have collapsed during a workout with his team at Pinson Valley High School Thursday before he was taken to St. Vincent's East hospital in Birmingham, Alabama.
His grandfather George Varnadoe Jr. posted a touching tribute on Facebook following the news.
'Caleb was an honor student, very respectful, high intellect, excellent role model, phenomenal basketball player, ranked 25th best point guard in his class in the nation and No. 2 in the state of Alabama. RIP Caleb. I love you man.'
The school's principal Michael Turner released a statement shared with parents after the tragedy.
'I unfortunately have some very sad news to report tonight,' Turner wrote. 'One of our senior students suffered a medical emergency at school today. Life saving efforts were immediately started and first responders were called.
'Sadly, the student was later pronounced deceased after being transported to the hospital. Out of respect for the family, we are not releasing the name of the student at this time,' he said.
'We will have more to say in the near future. Please know counseling resources will be available for anyone who needs them in the coming days. Please keep the student's family and our school in your prayers.'

It’s climate change. Most definitely. No proof needed. Every journalist in the multiverse believes in it.
effective at what, exactly
Definately “Climate Change”...Ask ManBearPig
RIP.
Was there any follow up on LeBron’s kid?
Are they not doing thorough physicals on student athletes who’ve had the vaxx?
Or was something hidden...or discovered...and he was allowed to play anyway?
Clot Concoction Claims Continue

This will go on for decades
And none face OUR wrath, yet . . .
Sympathies to his family. All the solid plans and detailed ambitions they very likely had for their son are suddenly gone, evaporated. It will take a while to let go of those dreams. I don’t have kids, but I’ve had a close family member meet an early death. Suddenly, their life story has ended, while ours will continue.
I never received a physical for sports, but that’s the 90’s.
When, I was a teenager my compatriots usually died in a car accident, although one did drown in the school pool.
Clot shot?
I haven’t even heard of this one.
His other kid had a heart attack at USC.
Chances are the medical protocols have not caught to reality yet, so it would be hard to tell how thorough a routine physical would have to be to find an issue that can lead to something like this. It’s like a blood test that does not test for everything.
My guess is he had an unknown heart defect.
Many black folks were suspicious of the vaccine and so was I.
It wasn’t mandatory in Alabama.
Not saying he didn’t get it, but odds are better than even that he didn’t.
I played field hockey back in the late 60’s. We had physicals. Matter of fact picked up heart murmur. Wouldn’t let me play till I had family doctor clear me.
“Safeand effective” COVID Vaccine. NOT!
In 1984 I went to visit family who lived through Nazism or were living under Communism.
We are watching a replay, big time.
...and probably 1.333 vaccines/per season. Don't leave that out now.
