A Georgia community is mourning today after the death of a local rising football star.

DJ Searcy, 16, was found unresponsive in his bed this morning at his team’s football camp being held in Columbia County, Fla.

Searcy’s teammates and hundred of supporters gathered to pay their respects. The cause of death is unknown at the time.

“He was so young, and had so much going for him,” said Searcy’s aunt. Searcy’s coach Randy Garrett said that there was “no question” that the football team’s next season would be for Searcy, and that there were “no words” to describe how shaken the team was feeling.
