California University of Pennsylvania football player Jamain Stephens, 20, has died, the school announced Tuesday.

Central Catholic High School in Pittsburgh, where Stephens played, said in a statement posted to Facebook on Tuesday his cause of death was related to complications involving COVID-19.

It is unclear how he contracted the disease.
