Furman defensive tackle Bryce Stanfield, 21, dies after collapsing at practice
A Furman football player died two days after suffering a medical emergency at a workout.
Bryce Stanfield, a defensive end and tackle, collapsed during a practice at Paladin Stadium in Greenville, South Carolina, and after going on life support at a local hospital, he passed away.
He was 21 years old.
“We are heartbroken beyond measure with Bryce’s sudden passing and ask that everyone, first and foremost, lift up his parents, Fred and Teri Stanfield, and their family, in prayer on this day and in the days ahead,” Furman head coach Clary Hendrix said in a statement.
“There are so many more who are really hurting namely Bryce’s teammates, coaches and staff, classmates, friends, and the entire Furman community and beyond. Bryce was an outstanding young man and an equally fine student, football player, and friend. He was so much a part of who we are as a program and school, and was pivotal in our success on the football field and through giving of his time in outreach to our community.”

His passing is one of the most difficult things Furman football has ever encountered, but our faith and so many wonderful memories Bryce provided us will help sustain us all in the days ahead.”
According to Fox Carolina, Stanfield had dealt with a back issue that limited what he could do before the workouts started, but he was going through rehab for that, and the coaching staff was not aware of any other medical issues he had.
Furman president Elizabeth Davis released a statement sending condolences to Stanfield’s family.
“The university extends its heartfelt condolences to Bryces family and friends in this time of profound loss,” Davis said.
