Utah State football player Andre Seldon Jr. died in an apparent cliff-diving accident, the school announced Saturday night.
According to the university, Seldon's body was located at 9:05 p.m. MT by the Utah Department of Public Safety's dive team after a search began earlier in the day for a man who was seen diving off cliffs at the Porcupine Reservoir and didn't return to the surface of the water.
"Our Utah State University Athletics family is devastated over the sudden death of Andre Seldon Jr.," athletic director Diana Sabau said in a statement. "We extend our deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, teammates, and all who loved Andre."
Seldon was set to play his fifth season of college football and first at Utah State in 2024. The Michigan native spent his first two college seasons at the University of Michigan before spending the last two seasons at New Mexico State.
"Our football program is heartbroken to have to endure the loss of one of our own," Utah State interim coach Nate Dreiling said in a statement. "Having had a previous relationship with Andre during our time together at New Mexico State, I can tell you he was an incredible person and teammate. Our condolences and prayers go out to Andre's family as we grieve with them over this tremendous loss."
