College Football Player Reed Ryan Dead At 22 After Collapsing During Workout

College of Minnesota Duluth soccer participant Reed Ryan tragically died on Tuesday … after collapsing throughout a exercise earlier this month, his household introduced.

He was simply 22 years previous.

In keeping with an obituary written by members of the family, the 6-foot-3, 241-pound defensive finish was coaching in a weight room on Nov. 21 “doing what he loved” … when he immediately went into cardiac arrest.

The household says faculty officers started life-saving measures … and after they regained the soccer participant’s pulse, he was rushed to the ICU. Sadly, he handed away seven days later.

Ryan’s household defined of their obituary the medical emergency was all on account of “an undetected genetic heart condition and a large, loving heart.”

“Reed had a contagious smile and lived life to the fullest in his short years,” Reed’s household wrote. “Reed loved people, he could talk to anyone and prided himself on being surrounded by friends, family, mentors, and being part of a team.”

Reed starred at Waunakee Excessive Faculty in Wisconsin earlier than he accepted a full-ride to North Dakota State College. He performed 4 seasons for the Bison earlier than he transferred to the College of Minnesota Duluth. In his one 12 months for the Bulldogs, Ryan logged eight whole tackles and one sack.

“Our staff and players are devastated about Reed’s passing,” UMD head soccer coach Curt Wiese mentioned in a press release. “Reed aspired to be better every day at whatever task was at hand. He helped bring out the best in others with his positive attitude, infectious smile, and genuine care for the people around him.”

NDSU soccer added in a press release on X on Wednesday that Ryan was “the ultimate teammate, a constant source of joy, a genuine selfless spirit, and a beloved friend.”

“We’ll miss you, Reed,” the Bison wrote. “Your legacy will live on.”
