GRAMBLING, La. (AP) -Grambling State defensive lineman Christian Anthony, the Southwestern Athletic Conference’s preseason defensive player of the year, has been hospitalized after suffering chest pains.
University spokeswoman Vanessa Littleton says the 22-year-old Anthony “is listed in stable condition after being admitted to the hospital.”
The News-Star reported that Anthony was taken to Louisiana Medical Center in Ruston and that teammates say he suffered an apparent heart attack.
Littleton says the 6-foot-4, 275-pound Anthony first complained of chest pains Thursday afternoon. She says there was no indication that the incident was heat-related and that Anthony showed no signs of distress when the team went to a meeting room to cool down and hydrate around 11:30 a.m.
