OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – A spokeswoman for the state medical examiner’s office says Oklahoma linebacker Austin Box has died.
Spokeswoman Cherokee Ballard said Thursday afternoon that Box’s body was on the way to the medical examiner’s office, but she had no further information.
The senior from Enid started in six games for the Sooners during the past two seasons. As a junior, he recorded his second career interception in a win over Oklahoma State and recorded eight tackles as Oklahoma beat Connecticut in the Fiesta Bowl.
University athletic department spokesman Kenny Mossman didn’t immediately return a message seeking comment.
