Former Miami Hurricanes running back Tyrone Moss has died at age 33, the university confirmed.

Moss died of undisclosed reasons, according to the Orlando Sun-Sentinel. His former high school coach, Steve Davis, told the Sun-Sentinel that Moss was battling "an unspecified illness or medical condition."

The running back was a top recruit out of Blanche Ely High School in Pompano Beach, Fla. Moss graduated in 2003 and helped lead the team to a state title in 2002. He tallied 7,105 yards during his high school career.

"It’s a total shock,” Davis said.
