A spokeswoman for the state Medical Examiner's office says Oklahoma linebacker Austin Box has died.
Spokeswoman Cherokee Ballard confirmed the death Thursday afternoon.
El Reno Police Chief Ken Brown says officers and medics responded Thursday morning to a call of an unresponsive male he identified as Box. Brown says Box first was taken to an El Reno hospital, then transferred by air ambulance to an Oklahoma City hospital.
The senior from Enid started the last five games last season for the Sooners. As a junior, he recorded his second career interception in a win over Oklahoma State and recorded eight tackles as Oklahoma beat Connecticut in the Fiesta Bowl.
University athletic department spokesman Kenny Mossman didn't immediately return a message seeking comment.
