A Florida high school football player who was unresponsive following a tackle in a recent game was taken off life support earlier this week, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

Jacquez Welch, who last week received his first offer from Concordia University, a Division II school in St. Paul, Minn., suffered an arteriovenous malformation, which is an abnormal tangle of blood vessels and arteries that can cause bleeding on the brain if ruptured, and the condition is usually present before birth and can easily go undetected. He was a student at Northeast High School in St. Petersburg, Florida.

On Monday, Welch, 17, was taken off life support. His organs will be donated. Keith Niebuhr of 247Sports reported that Welch passed away.

Welch’s mother, Marcia Nelson, told a congregation full of Northeast faculty and students at Gateway Baptist Church that doctors said seven lives would be saved by her son.

“Quez was a giving person. He would give to anyone and everyone if he had it,” Nelson said. “He wanted to do this.”

His mother made a point to say that playing football didn’t cause the medical incident, and she added that until Friday, there was never any indication that her son was anything but healthy.

The last time Welch touched a football, he scored on a 60-yard run within the first three minutes of action.

Welch is expected to be honored this week at his team’s game as players from both teams are expected to meet at midfield and lock arms during a moment of silence before the game. There will also be No. 4 decals, which represent Welch’s jersey number, that the teams will wear.
