Division III College Football Player Dies at Hospital After Game

A Division III football player died Sunday, one day after being hospitalized following a game when he said he didn't feel well.

WOOSTER, Ohio (AP) — Officials say a football player at the College of Wooster has died after being hospitalized after a game Saturday when he complained he didn't feel well.

A college spokesman says 21-year-old Clayton Geib died Sunday afternoon at a hospital in Wooster. He was a senior offensive lineman on the team and a chemistry major at the school.

Spokesman Hugh Howard said he couldn't provide any details about what caused Geib's death. Geib started at right guard in Saturday's 38–20 home win over Ohio Wesleyan University.

Geib was from London, Ohio. He was an all-conference offensive lineman and was twice named to the North Coast Athletic Conference Academic Honor Roll.

University of Wooster is about 60 miles (97 kilometers) south of Cleveland.
