According to a report from TMZ, college football player Jamain Stephens has died following complications from COVID-19.
Stephens, who was just 20, played California University of Pennsylvania.
From TMZ:
Stephens — listed at 6’3″, 255 pounds — played the past 3 seasons for the Cal Vulcans. Additionally, he made the University’s AD Honor Roll in Fall 2019.
Cal had canceled its 2020 football season because of the COVID pandemic, but apparently, Stephens contracted the virus anyway.
The University confirmed his passing but didn’t mention a cause of death. Jamain’s high school, Central Catholic, issued a statement saying “Jamain went to his eternal reward after suffering from complications of COVID-19.”
Here’s more from Central Catholic …
“Known more commonly by his nickname, ‘Juice,’ Jamain was a defensive lineman for the Vikings, winning two WPIAL championships and a state championship in 2015. Jamain went on to continue his football career at California University of Pennsylvania, majoring in Business Administration.”Rest in Peace, Jamaine.
