Falobi Akanbi, a Montana State Football Recruit, Collapsed and Died While Playing Basketball

Falobi Akanbi, a 6′ 5″, 290-pound, 17-year-old Montana State recruit who attended Dawson High School in Pearland, Texas, collapsed while playing basketball after school on Wednesday afternoon. Friends attempted to perform CPR until an ambulance arrived. Akanbi was pronounced dead at Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital. He had signed a letter of intent to play at Montana State earlier this month.
