The death of a freshman football player at Liberty University was not football-related, first-year Flames coach Jamey Chadwell said Friday.
Chadwell said the team learned of the death of Tajh Boyd, 19, from Chesapeake, Virginia, on Saturday. He declined to give further details about the offensive lineman who enrolled in January, saying he wanted to respect the privacy of the player’s family.
A spokesperson for the Lynchburg police said this week that police had looked into the death and determined a criminal investigation was not necessary.
