Warren Hills (New Jersey) quarterback Evan Murray has passed away after being injured in Friday night’s game against Summit.

According to various media reports, Murray, a three-sport athlete, was injured in the first half, but walked-off the field on his own.  He then reportedly collapsed on the sideline later in the first half and then was taken to a nearby hospital.

School superintendent Gary Bowen told LehighValleyLive.com, “Warren Hills Regional High School is making available grief and crisis counselors who will be available to speak with the students this weekend so that moving forward they can access the services.”

Many are sending their thoughts and prayers to Murray’s family and school via Twitter, including Republican Presidential candidate and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.
