Brexten Green, a redshirt freshman receiver on the Emporia State football team, died Saturday after he jumped off a cliff into Grand Lake in northeast Oklahoma. He was 20.
The Grand River Dam Authority received a call around 6:30 p.m. Saturday concerning a man jumping into the lake at Dripping Springs but never resurfacing, according to KFOR-TV in Oklahoma City.
Officials at the university confirmed that Green died in the accident.
Green was preparing to start his second year at the school after redshirting his freshman season. Ken Hush, the president of Emporia State, said in a campus-wide email that Green was also pursuing a degree in business administration.
