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.'

He was shocked by one Trump indictment too many.
Or maybe he was shocked by learning Biden has sold out the USA for tens or hundreds of millions of dollars.
Yeah, I’m thinking my personal doctor physical sufficed.
“Dr” Jill was teaching 12th grade English at my HS while I was in 12th grade.
Lucky me…
She’s still wondering why you reported a hernia every quarter.
Lol, she was okay looking in 1992 to a “healthy” 17 year old…
Last I heard on local talk radio is they are doing an autopsy.
LeBron’s kid got special care that the other kids didn’t get. They can’t have his kid die, it would burst the dam.
Bruh I wasn’t picky at 17 and I’m still disgusted in myself at what I’ll give a double look at 44.
LOL…no comment.
Is there a Freeper who is keeping tabs on all these stories?
Whatever one thinks about the vaccine, there’s no denying that they didn’t follow the protocol of 5 years testing before full approval.
Nothing to see, young people in top physical condition die suddenly all the time. Let’s just hope he was vaccinated so the coroner doesn’t catch the Fauci Flu.
“Safe ...and ......effective 💀”
Problem is, they didn’t elaborate on their definition of the “effective” part...because our side never forced them to define it. I’m thinking it’s turning out to be very effective for their agenda and goals. I bet they don’t think we’re keeping track of their “successes”.
Re: 29 - to many posters on the thread, these unfortunate deaths are just a means to push a narrative.
Assumed COVID-19 Vaccine Death Ping.
It was the blue state shot.
At least some one is reporting whats going on
Poor kid. RIP.
Everyone is a random unknown person to most people on the planet.
