A Snow College football player is dead after a single-vehicle crash in Utah on Sunday evening. The football player was offensive lineman Mafatini Mafatini. The school’s defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Jan Jorgensen tweeted about the loss.

It’s nights like tonight when you realize football means very little and at the same time, it means everything. The bond and brotherhood felt by these young men will carry them through some of the worst moments of their lives. This team will forever have a place in my heart.

“Family members are being notified, and a support team at the college has been assembled to help friends and teammates,” according to Snow College.

Snow College is a state school with about 3,300 full-time and 2,200 part-time students.

The Badgers say Mafatini joined the team this season after playing football in Maui, Hawaii.
