I wonder if something like sleep apnea is not out of the question?

Prayers to his family.

It's always sad to see a young man in his prime to be taken away. It sounds like Heath Benedict besides being a great player was a great person. My prayers go out to his family and to the Newberry football program.

I believe he was actually working out (or supposed to work out) at Furman's pro-day as Newberry doesn't have one.

He was at FU's Pro Day... My prayers are with the family and friends of Heath

That is sad. He sounds like he was a good man.
